I SWEAR I just responded to a thread identical to this from you like 2 days ago.

Best/easiest is to order a mail order tune and when you get it, send back your old pcm.

Most tuners operate on a core/exchange basis to minimize down time.

What Joe is saying is you pay a core charge and they ship you one of their extras. Then upon the return of your PCM after you swap them he'll credit you back with money.

So you pay more upfront but you get some back when you send back your PCM. It doesn't have to be YOUR PCM so you can get a used one, but make sure it works!

You can also have tuner email you a tune, you'd just have to get a cable to connect your computer to your diagnostic port and download new tune.

i paid 50 for connector and tune was 75 madz28.com
