Question the effect of flashing the ECU
Since you are flashing the ROM on the stock ECU, could the ECU go bad after multiple reflashes? The memory is not RAM which can be reflashed repeatedly so a friend of mine theorized that constantly flashing the stock ECU is not good. I'm sorry I don't know much about openecu tuning or flashing.

they guarantee around 100 reflashes but there are people that have flashed 100's of times and it is still fine. Search, there is a lot of info on the subject

Trouble is finding the right keywords to search.
Thanks for the input though. |

I have about 200 on mine and I know of others with much more. I've yet to hear of an ecu failing because of too many flashes. Try searching 'flash limit' or 'reflash limit' There are a lot of posts on it.
