Oh, and you shouldn't have to take your ECU out of the car and mail it off for this service... You should be able to do it in your own garage... That would be cool!

I was planning on taking my 06 350z to a tuner shop called japtrix and they told me that without a Engine Management thingy for my cpu in the car they cant flash it..such as a utec which costs $1000..and the tune is anywehre from 385-500 bucks...are they correct in saying that i have to get a $500-1000 dollar product just so they can charge me another 500?

Osiris is not a piggyback system, our Pro Tuners use it all the time to tune vehicles using the stock ECU.
