Below is a email response from MKB about upgrading the ECU.
Does this sound like it is worth it compared to other upgrades? This is
for a N/A model.

Thanks for your thoughts!

We can get you over 260 HP for the same price.

 

Read about it on the forum - it's everywhere, or on TVT's website.
There's a thread in the Group Buy which has a few responses and opinions on it.

 

Not trying to hijack this thread.....But I have a NIB ECU/PCM (Part #05179831AA) (2005 -2006 Limited & Base only) for sale see the thread below. just in case you would like to have a Custom Tune ECU and an OEM tune for dealer/service purposes or for experimental purposes.

is it not usable unless it has the correct vin flashed for the correct car?

 

You can get a ecu flash at inmotiontuning.com for $350.00, it would be crazy to pay $1527 for the same thing lol.

 

You have to get it activated to your vin at a Chrysler dealer first, or it won't work.

We've got a new unit that we can send to you though, so sending in the ECU is a thing of the past...

 

Yes...you and TVT are correct it will need a vin flash from a Chrysler dealer.....but you cannot beat the price if you need an extra one.

 

Yea it is. Our cost is a little under 1k.
400.00 is a steal!

 

So you offer a ODB2 programmer now? I saw Inmotion's ebay ad and though it may have been a typo. How much is it?

 

Inmotion has had pretty much the same thing we are doing for a while now.

Ours is a compact unit that plugs into the car, reads your file, you email to us, we email back, and you plug back in. Whole process takes about 15 mins.

This is great for those wanting to have meets that aren't near LET or us.

One of the members of the forum, Noles, will be our tuner in the Houston, TX area in a few weeks.

Cost is the basic tune price, plus an 1800.00 deposit, fully refunded of course.
