Q. What is EzyFLASH?
A. EzyFLASH is a handheld ECU (engine control unit or computer) reflasher. The ECU controls your engine’s operation.

Q. How does EzyFLASH work?
A. Ezy-FLASH plugs directly into your vehicle’s OBDII port, and creates a verified copy of your vehicle’s ECU factory settings. This allows the original settings to be quickly and easily reinstalled upon demand. Ezy-FLASH is self-contained so it eliminates the need to return to the shop to switch or upgrade tunes. Tunes can be acquired from your favorite tuning shop via e-mail, if you choose. Ezy-FLASH can greatly increase your vehicle’s horsepower and torque in minutes with just the push of a few buttons, without compromising the factory’s safety parameters. Tunes can be configured to take full advantage of the most extensive modifications to vehicle systems, including fuel injectors, camshafts, cylinder heads, exhaust systems, and even forced induction.

Q. What vehicles does Ezy-FLASH support?
A. Subaru WRX/STi/FXT models from MY01-10. Note that only turbocharged vehicles are supported (specifically, vehicles in this year range with Denso ECUs).

Q. What vehicles will Ezy-FLASH support in the future?
A. Vehicle support is planned for Mitsubishi EVO 7/8/9/X, and Mazda 3MPS/6MPS/CX-7 (Gen I & Gen II).

Q. Do I need different Ezy-FLASH units for different Subaru models?
A. No; the new ‘Pro’ unit reflashes all supported Subaru models.

Q. Can I make my own tunes without buying Tune Manager Pro?
A. There are some community-supported tuning programs online. However there is no professional support or Intellectual Property protection for these.

Q. Can I keep my Ezy-FLASH and use it on my new car?
A. So long as your new car is supported by that Ezy-FLASH model, yes. If the new vehicle’s ECU is different from the one the Ezy-FLASH is use in now, you may need to purchase an additional software license, essentially upgrading your Ezy-FLASH.

Q. Which applications will our products support?
A. EzyFLASH currently supports Subaru Impreza/WRX/STi/Forester (turbo). Mitsubishi Lancer EVO Vlll-iX and Mazda 3, 6 and CX-7 (coming soon!).
XEDE can work with most any vehicle, but does require professional tuning because it is the ECU.

Q. What is XEDE?
A. . XEDE is an “intelligent piggy-back” style, universal ECU that can work with most applications. Some race sanctioning bodies ban the use of ECU reflashers, and instead require a “piggy-back” ECU which alters the signals from the factory ECU.

Q. How does XEDE work?
A. XEDE controls your engine’s parameters and is particularly useful in a forced induction environment where it may be appropriate to control additional injectors and/ or intercooler water sprays, pumps, or fans while also retarding ignition timing and, if needed, clamping MAF, MAP or TPS signals to generate the required control over the engine operation, without initiating “Limp Home Mode” of the Factory ECU. The XEDE Processor is designed to work in tandem with the factory ECU. The XEDE can squeeze every last drop of power from your engine to deliver increases in acceleration and properly match up ignition and fuel curves to deliver the best torque. The XEDE generates changes in fuel and ignition by commanding the factory ECU’s load and crank reference input signals to deliver increased power and torque, optimal throttle response, improved fuel economy and smoother acceleration. XEDE will also allow the driver to toggle between its two separate maps, even while driving.

Q. Can I install them myself?
A. It is best to have these products installed by a qualified professional. The variability of manufacturing tolerances means that a tune may perform one way in a particular vehicle, but perform differently in another vehicle that is the same make, model and year with the same engine and modifications. A professional tuning shop can help to minimize the impact of that variability and maximize the performance of each particular vehicle.

Q. What are tunes? What are Open-source tunes? Can I use them?
A. A tune is the programming that controls your engine’s operation. Open-source tunes are ready-made tunes which are available on the open market. Open-source tunes can be used, but it is still best to have your vehicle tuned by a professional as a tune can behave differently from vehicle to vehicle. A tuning shop can eliminate that variability.

Q. What is Tune Manager PRO?
A. Tune Manager Pro is the professional ‘Tuner’ edition of Tune Manager, which incorporates Ezy-FLASH Tune Editor for creating and editing tunes, real-time data logging (coming soon!) and pass-through programming (coming soon!).
