wow.....only $350? Never heard of it. They said on their website they can do custom tuning too which is pretty cool. Hopefully it works well.

InMotion tuning...

I actually just emailed these guys...

They responded in about 2 minutes:

Subject: Tuning an '02 C32


I’ve got a 2002 C32 that I’d like to have the ECU tuned on.



I’m assuming the process goes something like this:



1) Pull ECU

2) FedEx it to you

3) Tune it

4) Return

5) Install





Is that about right? What’s your turn-around time also?

Their website says:

Custom tunings are avail. We can raise your RPM redline, eliminate the top speed limiter, and turn down the EGR on Diesel models.

F.Y.I. Tunings purchased directly through this website come with FREE USPS Express return mail of your ECU, FREE Lifetime firmware warranty and FREE Lifetime upgrades/downgrades!

SO.....is it possible for them to custom tune the ECU if I have a pulley kit but they don't have my car? That doesn't sound right. I would think they would need to put my car on a dyno to tune it with the pulley kit...

These guys have been advertising on ebay for a long time and they change their price depending on the day. I have an email at home from them quoting their tune for $250, shipped. They said for an additional $50 ($300 total) I could get lifetime tunes, ie match pulley, or any future upgrades. They also can do custom tunes...supposedly. I was also told they can remove the governor.
** PARTIAL TEXT DELETED BY MODERATOR **
In the end, even at the great price quoted I just had a bad feeling about them and didn't go through with it. As mentioned though, I saved the payment request from these guys through paypal for $250 just in case I changed my mind down the road.
Don't pay these guys anymore than $300 if you go through with it though!

Planning a group buy on another site is what got the price down to $250 after MUCH hassle and debate. The guy would give each seller a different price. Some he tried doubling the price even! After talking with him though, everyone should be able to get this for that price. If need be I can post the payment request he sent me for that exact amount. No reason to offer me that price and not everyone else....

out of curiosity, it says on their website that: " If you have a Pulley kit you will need to purchase a full custom tuning. Please contact our sales staff for custom tuning requests."

I'm assuming that you would put on your pulley and opt for that full custom tune?

I'm anxiously watching this as well. If all goes as planned/advertised, some of the big chip tuners might be rethinking their prices. If you have dynos with good results to back it and have the same gains as with the big tuners, get it at a fraction of the price along with a money back guarantee....that's a no brainer. My fingers are crossed.
