Hey Stephan, find out how much a total Reflash, Tune, Dyno and Maps will cost ? Also what is his warranty ?
This could be a coin toss for me.....

uprev prices are pretty high so as long as jotech is competitive you guys might save gas and time and go there for the tune.

The dyno rate at Uprev really isn't much better. Plus if you take the cost of fuel and all everything else it makes up for the difference. I don't think the cost of the actual reflash will be anymore more expensive at Jotech because the maps come with the Osiris package. I think you only pay for the time on the dyno. That is what I was charged when I went to Uprev but I can't speak for Jotech.

They are offering them for $ 390 Plus free shipping ! If you are in TX then you will have to pay Sales Tax.

But still... $ 420 shipped.

Nexx, I'll tell you why you shouldn't get them - tires. Nittos aren't too great of tires and not what they are advertised as or claimed to be. They're not THAT bad, but I would never buy Nittos again (value/$, there are better ones out there).


As for the UpRev tune being done at Jotech.... The guys at Jotech are great guys. The only thing I don't like about them (if it even counts) is their pricing. Anyway, I just wanted to say that for N/A tuning, you really can't go wrong with majority of the reputable tuners around here. I would still prefer UpRev to personally do mine down in Austin (as they're the creator and therefore know the ECU the best) but if Jotech's prices are good (and you can't drive to Austin), it sure as hell beats the canned tune that UpRev emails you.

Honestly that wheel tire/combo ain't worth it. I can get anyone those wheels by themselves for a very nice price, Nexx can attest to that.
I can even do the tires and probably get really close to that.

Why didn't you tell me this earlier.....Stephan pm me a price on some tires so I can see what kind of discount you are able to get.

I read up on them and think they will be a good tire for DD'ing.
