Do you have a pst2? Thats good too know. Now I just need to know where and how to get my hands on one. It looks hard to find and expensive, which defeats my purpose lol.

Seems like theres no damn way around paying a grand for a tune on these cars.

And that would be a grand wasted as most aftermarket re flashed system add little if anything to how the car performs. Do a search, been covered many times.

Not entirely true

Anyone (Indy) with a OBDII interface reader can download your current ECU's map (using k-line protocol, or CAN, forgot) and this map can be saved onto a hard disk locally as a file. Check with the local Japanese drifter crowd in your area, they all have those OBD readers if yourself or your Indy doen't have it!

Once you got the map out, there a few tuner in Europe who can map fuel/air ratio based on your requirement (ambient temp, exhaust size/system, etc). Of course they also get rid of all the compliance stuff the manufacturer puts in place (emission this and that). Once completed, they just resend the modified map to you by email and your Indy upload it back to the car. Unplug the battery for 30 min, plug, start the car and have plenty of fun.

Did that on mine almost two years ago and it went pretty smooth. Used a tuner based in the UK forget the name of these guys. But there are many out there at the moment. Don't think you will gain more than 10%, or 15% more power if lucky.

Range between $100~150. You can opt for mods only one time during the following 24hrs for free. But after that, you need to pay another $150 for a new map.

If interested I'll do the research on who did it for me and PM your their contact.

hope this helps
