The fact they chose you, an almost stock Z to show people what ECUtek can do is a little weird to me. Not sure why they didnt go with a more modded car or FI.

Apparently there's not much they can do still as everything is in BETA mode. They should have there own products ready to go and tested on cars BEFORE all this hype. When you hype something up its cuz ready to go and jus needs marketing.
We the community shouldn't be test guineas at all. They should have everything figured out and done. You know.. Research and development?

Try getting someone who has boost on their car, after all the money they spent to be a test guinea for this company. Just not gonna happen. Maybe in the Honda community but not here when these cars are 20+k. Add in mods and ur lookin at 30k. People with FI even more.

I can understand why ur supporting them, I would too if I got freebies. Don't understand why ur bothered by people that are asking for proof and not promises. Basic principles of business. Wait til you start modding more and then you might understand.

I'm not putting up my boosted G to be a tester. If I was stock like yea then yea sure no problem.
First, let's be clear: no one chose me. I chose EcuTek. Dynotronics put a thread out there about wanting a stock Z to mess with (at the time Joe was already working on a track Z - unfortunately, not on the forum) and I jumped at the opportunity and price because let's be honest, there's no need for me to spend $500+ on a tune with my current mods.

All of your points make perfect sense. But some of them work against each other in the real world. EcuTek isn't going to FI a Z and then do all the research on tuning it - they're going to wait until the demand is out there and then work on unlocking previously unavailable features (like VVEL) via software, their specialty. So it then falls to the certified tuners to acquire (whether through a customer or their own car) a FI Z to do full testing and tuning on. EcuTek releases a beta so that people can start testing some features even if others aren't yet available (and likely to help them gauge the public interest). Like you said, "Try getting someone who has boost on their car, after all the money they spent to be a test guinea for this company. Just not gonna happen." Unfortunately, it looks like that's what it's going to take.

People want results. Perfectly reasonable. But a lot of things have to align for them to appear on this forum, and that doesn't appear to be on the fast track to happening. Hopefully, people like MKG can change that

And this is the internet. When I say something irritates me, its more like this
