Autobarn in Mt Propect wants $150 to flash me from Stage 1 to Stage 2....seems a bit high. Found a guy in Lake Zurich with a shop called E-Fab Motorsports says he will flash it for $50. Anyone been there? I assume you cant really mess a flash up right?
$150 is a little high but pretty close to standard. (edit: nevermind - I totally skipped over the part where you were going stage 1 to stage 2) E-Fab is a new shop. The owner was my driver's ed partner back in high school haha. A bunch of euro guys have started going to E-Fab but I haven't been there yet.Autobarn in Mt Propect wants $150 to flash me from Stage 1 to Stage 2....seems a bit high.

that's because once you're already stage 1, they just reflash via the OBD port usually. To initially get tuned they need to pull your ECU and solder a few things. I was not charged at all when I went from stage 1 to stage 2. Maybe because I was buddies with the service adviser? or maybe they changed policies...weird, autobarn MP quoted me $100 to go from stage 1 to stage 2. That was only about a month ago too. Did you get your original tune there?

You definitely can mess up a flash. Fried ECU either immediately or months down the line, unique software problems, etc.
Yep...that is where I got the tune from
try haggling? Not sure if they do that or not but it's worth a shot?
I'd try negotiating with the service adviser... they might be able to hook you up.
Thanks I will give it a shot
