from what Alex(the tuner) said, the results are better then jb3, they have a dyno there so if he does a dyno then all post the report, but according to Alex a flash 335 is better then a 335 with jb3,intake, exhaust..... main reason being since they redo your ecu rather then adding something to the car that trys to override the ecu (jb3)

No, I got my flash way before the EZ flash came out. And it costed me 500. You wont regret it

Cali335 · 12-18-2010, 02:36 AM

TommyK · 12-18-2010, 12:18 PM

Get it done yet? How is it?

Cali335 · 12-18-2010, 12:50 PM

Have an app at 2pm, All post afterwards

Cali335 · 12-18-2010, 11:12 PM

I got the tune today, but the rain didn't allow me to really test it out... But you feel the difference in the car right away

RambleJ · 12-19-2010, 08:04 PM

I got the flash on Saturday. I haven't been able to really open it up yet cause of the weather. But I can already tell a large improvement over my jb3 map 3. So far I'm stoked on it, I need to pick up a diverter valve cause mine is capping out on me and then ill hop on their dyno again and post up the results.

It's only 495 for the rest of this month. It's totally worth it and like someone said earlier, the guys at the shop are very knowledgeable and super chill.

What happens when you have to take it in for service with these flashes? Can you flash to stock and get flash back to the tuning maps after the service visit? Just curious how this really works.

They have a EZ map switcher you can purchase. But they dealers are supposed to not be able to see the flash. There are no codes thrown relating to tuner shadow codes.
I am about to take my car in this week, so I will let you know how it goes!

Why would you ever run jb3 on map 3 lol , with dci is fine at map7 or 5 if you're scared and the power difference is big, but can't say anything about this tune since I don't know much.

dlbrooks18 · 12-20-2010, 11:09 AM

hmmm, Gintani is legit, would like to know more details regarding their flash..

Not here in Cali, we are handicapped with 91 octane, running map 7 with just dci and 91 is asking for an unhappy engine.
