FWIW DGMotors (new shop and LI) and CBRD both using ECUFlash is a big problem IMO. EvoScan does NOT work for the X so they have NO ACCURATE WAY TO LOG THE CAR. Do you want someone guessing on your 30+ thousand dollar Evo and hoping the car isn’t knocking? The guy at DG literally sticks a knock sensor in the motor and puts on a pair of headphones. That’s his way to ‘log’ the car. Um, no thanks. EcuTek costs more for a reason. It has real time logging and map tracing. Other option is buing a Cobb AP and getting it ProTuned (also has live logging but the bitrate is slower than EcuTek). Once EvoScan comes out and is tested/revised/finalized ECUFlash will again be the #1 way to tune an Evo, but right now I’d rather spend a little more on an EcuTek license and know EXACTLY what’s going on with my car. .02 from someone who’s tuned quite a few Evo;s 🙂 ---

I have only heard great things about CBRD nd they have assured me i would have zero issues. Ivey is definitely another option im considering though if a better logger isnt released soon. let me know how the tune goes ---

His DD was a white X that is tuned, when I was down there last summer. If your going to just do bolt-ons, then you should seriously consider a McTune from Justin. His tunes are awesome, and safe. ---

Mike - Sean did most of the tuning today - I mostly learned - EcuTek is an amazing tuning tool and really allows the tuner to do his job beyond anything I’ve had experience with. ---

See n!cole’s post for temp’s. Twelve’s are definitely possible. I ran @ full weight w/ a full tank of gas. I’d guess if I were on a 1/4 tank I could have easily picked up 1-2 mph which would have put me around 12.8~ish. Overall I’m very happy considering I’ve done absolutely minimum mods to the car and the X’s run about 13.7-13.8 in stock form. > [@Oops.](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/oops/17937/4): > > nice times man. how hot out what is it when you ran? twelves possible next time out? > > +1 for celtic leading the way in capital region evo x modding.
