Thank you.
It looks like I've got some reading to do. How about the OFT device and software updates? Other Forums for other brands report great frustration with the complete lack of support and the impossibility to communicate with the OFT people. |

Thank you steve99, very good of you.
This tS will see mostly track days, very little DD and my expectation from the engine is mostly in the improvement of the mid-range. My own contribution to the project is a catted UEL header, 93 RON and a very elementary plug and play method of tuning. I could always run without the tune but I'd be foregoing the benefit of the high octane while I'd be taking risks with the AFRs. This is the reason of my interest in the OFT but I fear that, without support from OFT, going beyond simple icon selections will be well beyond my non-existent skills. Again, many thanks. |

What @jflogerzi said is true, OFT is a super useful easy plug and play tuning tool that is well worth you purchasing. It's not worth getting header without a tune in my book, you're still going to get a CEL and really blowing your money away. You can easily use OFT to datalog and get the OFT guys to dial in your tune and you can details about etuning on their site, or pay @steve99 @Wayno or @Tor over paypal to do something similiar there the best guys on this forum for that stuff.

Getting the OFT was my first thought but I didn't proceed once I realised that there is limited, if any, OE support. Now that I read in your posts that there is e-tune support available I will certainly go this route. Again, many thanks to both. |

Why not get BRZ edit? That's what I use, it's decent for how cheap a personal license is. Uses Tactrix cable, essentially like any other open source tuning software. My tuner gave me a great dyno tune with UEL headers and cat delete, we're planning on using it when the car has the turbo installed.

The only real advantage of brzedit is it allows tuners to lock tunes and ecu. If i was going to spend money on a flash system other than tactrix\ecuflash or oft id go ecutek as it actually adds a lot of usefull features amd failsafes wehn going turbo, especially if you want electronic boost control |
