Reflash for ecu chicago area
Hey all, I was wondering if anyone in or around the Chicago area that knows of a dealership that carries the reflash for the sc??? Naperville told me yesterday they had it, but when i took it in this morning........no tool!

Actually if you dont have the reflash done...you are voiding the warranty. You're producing alot more power and dont have the proper a/f ratio going into your engine. If your SC breaks or your engine breaks and you dont have the reflash done...you're SOL. The reflash is REQUIRED for proper installation of the SC. If its installed incorrectly, no warranty.

Im not worried about the instal. The car is just sitting and not being driven. He is stating the because they didnt do it bye bye warranty.

Ok first your warranty isn't VOID if you're not driving the car. The warranty on your S/C is the TRD 1 year parts only warranty since you installed in yourself. So it's still covered. I have a thread started about the warranty on the S/C. There is a link below.
