My understanding as far as ECUTEK goes is every tuner has their own base maps as a starting point from their own past tunes. ( I would guess VERSO is the same).

In other words MMS & Race Torque re-flashes are differant it is not that a TEK 2 from each is the same. Once you do a full custom tune it is entirley up to the guy tuning the car.

ECUTEC & VERSO are only the software that lets the tuner make the changes.

My take on it is that the results are entirely dependent on the tuner. So pick your Tuner and who gives a rats what software they use.

No, this is not the case, a Verso tune is a tune just like a MoTeC, Autronic or Link. No ghost tunes here.

Have you ever heard the phrase, "A tradesman is only as good as his tools"?

I believe theres been at least one car with its ECU fried due to an attempt to reflash in the very recent past

No names of ecu or workshop - its not about the negative, just pointing out this can and will happen.

I call bullshit - I bet all Verso base maps were derived from Ecutek Maps to start with - some may even say they were stolen.

So simply because Pete wanted to look at a tune you think it was stolen? Get your hand off it.

Not everything is as sinister as it seems to you Fred.
