Unless your ecu has been changed for an after market one then it will be a ecu tek remap that your car will have had. ( if you have a newage wrx which i think you have ? )

Not sure what you're really asking tbh, but... There is no difference in the end result when mapping the OEM ECU with ECUTek or any of the opensource programs. It's down to the mapper at the end of the day. ECUTek is more expensive as you need to pay the license plus the mappers time first time around.

I use ECUEdit which isn't free but is damn near as good as the ECUTek product for mapping/logging/analysis etc.

Edit - Your car is likely to be ECUTek mapped actually.

Hi Alistair, For the odd thing, not much now tbh. ECUEdit is far, far superior, not open source I know, but just makes analysing logs etc so much easier.

Unlikely to be a genuine Ecutek remap if it was done at Extreme as they are not Ecutek Subaru dealers. Although they may have brought someone in to do it ?

As ecutek is roughly £200 more expensive is it really worth the money over other software?

[andrew_forrest]

As mentioned previously, the mapping is only as good as the mapper. Ecutek software however is probably the best their is, as used by Prodrive to do the PPP upgrades and the factory Subaru rally cars. Mitsubishi also used Ecutek for the FQ*** Evo's.

Whether your garage use snap on tools or B+Q tools may not affect the job they do working on your car but it does say 'something' about them.
