It takes probably a solid day, less if you have two+ motivated people. But it's fairly easy.

Talk about quality. Not sure how long it will hold up but at $99 from the actual company Ill be happy even buying a new blanket every year.

Idk ive seen guys go through the DEI turbo blankets that are twice the cost in about 2 years. Its all subjective to driving styles however.

Honestly if it can last a whole season (March-September) ill be pleased. Still waiting on a more complete tune so we can actually make better and safer use of boost....im mildly dying inside from all of the anticipation. John knows his stuff but communication is a struggle at best.

I think the "issue" is that he has big clients. Like Crawford performance and other big names I cannot recall at the moment. Pretty sure his "etuning" takes a back seat which is fine when you have high paying customers actually sending you cars from a great distance. It is just frustrating. All I need is an ETA or a "im working on some adjustments" heck even a go eff yourself would be good so that I can make arrangements elsewhere.



His last response was..."Its time we meet up and tune for real power on a dyno"...he then asked some additional questions.

He hasn't responded yet so I am dead in the water wondering if I will get an etune for full throttle and boost or if im going to have to wait for him to come down here and dyno tune for it. I do NOT care either I just want to know what to expect.

yea i understand he has big name clients but if you're soo busy with that why take on etuning? i mean i know he's really good and i've met him and had lunch etc etc he's a great dude dont get me wrong lol

i honestly would have just stuck with uprev if i went boosted since a. i already have my own personal tuner kit and b. there's plenty people with experience readily available to tune it asap.

Yeah honestly if Ecutek wasn't going to be so feature rich in the near future I would've went with Uprev. We could've had the car tuned ourselves since Pat has tuned his own standalone megasquirt ecu he is pretty good with doing it. Wouldn't be perfect but itd be good enough to have fun and still go get a pro tune later. Also I got the HOOKUP on pricing with John which really made the choice unbeatable.
