Mastro EcuTek custom tunes
Who has had one and how do you feel the experience went?
I'm looking to get some good solid info from some folks who know decent tuning theory and have been there for a reflash.
Are they competent and not just dudes with a dyno and some software?
Please provide as much information about your experience there, things that gave you pause, or otherwise.
Many thanks.

Zate, I've already got a Vishnu Stage 1 EcuTek reflash, so am looking for a custom tune to overwrite that one. What makes you so confident? I mean, I appreciate the generalized comment over no comment at all, but could you tell me a bit more about your experience with them that makes you stand by them without having a reflash yourself?

i know of a number of people who have had reflashes with them.. and were very pleased with the results .. they tune conservatively..if your looking for a cutting edge, max power tune.. they might not be right for you.. they tune for reliability and safety .. they will get you the most power available and not put your motor in jepardy. On top of that they are great people, very friendly and helpful. If your after a good local place to tune Ecutek then give them a shot.
I'm not sure what your after?.. basically if i was to get Ecutek (and will do in the future on the LGT) then I'd go with mastro.

Well, I'm just being a careful customer is all. I gathered from the short time I was at the recent event they held that they're good people.
But I also know that it doesn't take much at all to put a smile on a face with a reflash/tune. Drive the car in one way, come out with it feeling much better overall, and your typical reflash customer leaves pleased
No problem with that, just saying...
For example, one thing that gave me pause is their inadequate/poor cooling setup for the dyno.
I know enough to be particular and careful.
No matter - the info you provided is helpful. I'll start talking to them about my plans at least.
Thanks

I was one of the earlier customers to get a reflash and watched what was done to my car very closely. Hell, I even brought it back a week later to hook the data logger up and make a few runs on the street to make sure everything was holding up ok, as well as putting it back on the dyno a few months later to check.
No complaints here about the tune on my daily driver. If there was a bad spot in my tune, I would have found it by now.

IIRC it is $200 for a reflash and $1000 for a first time flash. (Mastro's site is down)
I suggest finding an ECU that's already tuned with ECUtek for $400 max, and then have them reflash it for $200
400 + 200 = 600 << 1000
This was similar to what I did, but for my WRX. The hard thing is trying to find an STi ECU tuned with ECUtek, but I'm sure they are out there.
Good luck,
Eric
