Getting familiar with the group...
So I made the thread a few months back with LAP3 and getting hyped. At this point, I am done waiting for them, its sad to me that Koreans can't find time to tune the 5.0's or have any love for them. Whatever, I also thought, man I gotta try to find more KDM companies that can tune my car, but yeah there are very few and they either have not succeeded, or play the part of procrastination. Anyways, to the actual good part, I reached out to a German company near me, and reached out to a company in New Zealand. I asked if their tools support ME17.9.1, both companies said yes they do. Both companies have a wide variety of tuning experience, Lamborghini, Porsche's, Ferrari, Audi R8, and even a F1 car! So the New Zealand company said we can do a send your ECU service for $1150 NZD about ($850USD) not including shipping cost. Here's his words, "You could send us ecu's to tune. We would have to bench tune them. Would only be able to tune them for basic mods like exhaust and intakes." Also, I'd like to say $850 is a hell of a lot better than the $1200 LAP3 was initially charging for the 5.0 tunes. The 2nd Company is located near me, and is more ideal for me but its at a rate of starting at $1200, which I understand, because I am being tuned to forced induction, and hell yeah if New Zealand was close I'd pay the $850 any day. So the hard part about this, I know you guys always want results before anything, and that's understandable. Sadly to say, since I mentioned I am going the forced induction path, I cannot spend money to send my ECU for basic bolt-ons. Also I'd like the add, the other company is very confident about tuning any Bosch ECU, if anyone has a picture of the 2nd Gen 5.0 ECU, be highly appreciated, I will send to them, and see if their tools support it. If either company can infact tune 1st and 2nd gen 5.0's I would like to know how many people interested in this. I am liking how its looking, we have options for once, instead of waiting on one company.. Oh and for any Equus owners, I think its the same ME17.9.1 so I don't think you're left out!
