While some of the tuners have the ability to re-flash to the original tune you cannot erase the fact that another tune was in as they track mileage where the tune was put in and how many times the engine has been started/attempted start since that tune was in.

He sees a lot problems with the cam phasers on the Fords with tuners, followed by what would be considered tuning (fuel, timing,etc.) problems.

The best clue on the Eco-Boosts is that not a single tech from the Ford house nor the Chevy/GM house down the road own or recommend them nor anything with direct injection (gasoline engines).

I appreciate this input but I wonder what the problem w DI is? It is becoming the norm and is more efficient, (power/fuel economy).
