Getting a tune is completely worth it, You will never get the most out of all of the mods that you put on your car without a tune, in fact, you may even lose power. Without a tune your car will not be running the proper Air fuels, target boost numbers, and your mileage will start to plummet. When you throw bolt on's on a car, especially with how advanced and high tech these cars are the ECU starts to freak out and doesnt know how to respond. A tune is just going to maximize your power and optimize your drivability, it is not uncommon to see a large increase in fuel efficiency after a tune.

I wish we didn't have to send the ECU in.. I'd like a tune on a spare. Completely understand why it's required and it makes sense. I've been holding off / trying to figure out when's a ok time to go car less for a while. The turn around from Ontario Canada to you and back to me is prob a week, week and a half.
It is definitely an inconvenience, however to make sure that the tune is true to your car little or no issue it has to be done that way. I mean technically we could sell tunes and just ship out ecu's to you guys, but there is a ton of stuff that wouldnt work including your vehicle immobilizer, which if your car is stolen, will help you out a ton. Is it inconvenient, yes, but it is the best way to do it!
