like the title says, sorry to add yet another thread here, but I'm looking into getting the busa tuned now that I have a full exhaust system and the airbox mod on it. I've been trying to read up on threads regarding the two options and it seems like I'm finding more opinions that information. With that being said, I have a few questions that I hope somebody can clarify for me.
1.) I know the overwhelming majority of opinion seems to be in favor of the ECU Edit, but I don't hear much about WHY it's better.
2.) From looking at the BoostBySmith Website, it appears that I'm paying $180 for a wiring harness and a USB adapter. I have a dealership here that says they can Dyno Tune and ECU flash the Busa for me, but they dont have any of the wiring, so I need to provide it. Its been pointed out to me that it seems odd to have a shop offer a service that they dont have parts for. Is this at all normal for an ECU flash?
3.) If I were to go with a PC, which one do I need for an 07? I've heard that the PC V is for Gen II only, but on the Power Commander Website, when I plug in my bike info, thats the item it directs me to. Which one would I need, and why?
4.) I've heard of PC installs going wrong, and its pretty easy to just remove them from the system for troubleshooting, but obviously thats not really possible with an ECU Edit. does anybody know the odds on an ECU Edit going badly wrong? From what I know about computers, an error while frashing a ROM will just brick it. Then I just have a large, fancy, expensive paperweight...
5.) It sounds like the wiring harness for the ECU edit is only needed for the actual edit itself. If this is the case, why don't I hear about shops having the harness on hand, or riders passing them around to save money?
6.) I'm sure there's plenty I've forgotten, so any additional specs or details about the two systems would be awesome. Thanks in advance for any and all help here!
