ECU/TCU
Spoke to Oliver today at SpeedtuningUSA. He gave me a great price for a ECU and TCU flash which would increase the horsepower by about 10% and change how the car handles the torque. I was debating between a few companies--Powerchip, Kleeman, etc, but they were charging over 1k and were predicting same results.
Anyway, on a general note, is there anything I should be worried about after having my ECU/TCU flashed? I know that I am re-mapping it, but I don't want to drive the computer nuts and have it overcompensate or start driving strangely (except the "good" strangeness).
Warranty won't be voided b/c my car is at 116k miles. Just curious about long-term effects.
