3S AUTOSPORT ECU UPGRADE???

K.....I am up in B.C. Canada and these guys are the only custom programers in my neck of the woods. Are they good? Has any one got an ECU flash done by these guys?

Price for my MCS is 495US......

Feed back please. I want to know if it is worth the loot.

Thanks

Nope.....what kind of software/hardware do they use?

Is it a dyno tune or just a best guess plug it in and go one?

Do you have any other mods?

I've got a CAI, magnaflow cat back, 15% pulley, JCW injectors, light weight flywheel pulley and I have a head and headder ordered.......just waiting patiently on freight. I have the Dinan programing in it right now but I want a custom tune.

I just e-mailed and asked if its done on a dyno. I'll post his reply.

3S autosport reply about ECU tuning

As per the response...................is this possible??? Are all ECU's and upgrades the same? Can this be done from someone elses dyno sheet? sounds kinda suspect to me.

Guess I'll just sit back and hope for some responses from some guru members to this reply I recieved.

What does this mean????? Can they tune by reading my ECU? Is this a good way to spend 495$ plus tax?

Thoughts would be apreciated

NO......!

This is a best guess type of tune. Don't waste your money. No way to adequately tune a car w/o having it on a dyno to verify the changes and to tweak the tune to your specific mods and car.

Revolution MINI Works does tuning partys. In fact he had one in Seattle not to long ago and one last spring. And I believe Mynes tuning is or will be doing the same kind of thing.

You should search for both and check out the Puget Sound MINI club site for more info.

Wicked. Seattle is only a nice rip away

Figured that it was pretty sketchy, i've got a few fast toys and wow....... Just thought it was a brutal response and wanted to share.

Thanks for the info. I'll check into the club

Cheers
