Looking for $61 ECU file

If anyone has one it would be much appreciated. Trying to burn a chip for a friend with a 90 RS (746 ECM). If anyone has a tdf file I wouldnt mind that either. Thanx

Sorry, but your e-mail (as listed with thirdgen) was returned undeliverable... I suspect it is because it has an attachment.

Send me an e-mail that has your ISP's e-mail.

At $20 a pop, that ain't unreasonable. With enough file passing around, there wouldn't be any profit in it , and tunercat ain't here to work for free. Long term that just makes life rough for future folks.

Well when u ask friends for 40 bucks to burn em a chip, then u pay 15 for the chip itself and 20 for the definition file, it kinda makes it not worth my time at all. LOL

I definately have to agree with Grumpy on this one....we have been around the block on this crap for many years. The tunercat software can get most anyone out of a jam with mild mods.... Some guys can reverse and comment micro code and some of the rest of us at the beginning were changing one byte in hex at a time and trying to figure out WTF we just changed(lookup table wise) and I think if micro guys were to speak, that is how they they come to commented responses in "dillusional" areas of code. Paying a few bucks for tunercat or Terry's software(which btw is MUCH more detailed) is well worth the money. I've been working in hex prolly longer than some of you have been driving and I buy tunercat software cause it saves alot of time. Even with the software, I still have to modify some stuff in hex cause it's not all available in the software(and it shouldn't be....would just get newbies in trouble). ****, some of the original tuning software was $2500 a piece. This and people claiming they could send you a "custom fix all" chip over the phone is alot of the reason guys like me and Grump even got into this. This is definately a give and share alike game....don't be a taker. my $.02

Well this guy has to drive his car while I'm doing this. Plus he's in another state. It's not big deal. I'll see what I can do...
