Call the order in to seal your fate before 31 March

I think I just made sure I had the VIN and sent it in, pick a number it is mostly so he can match up the form with the ECM in case they get separated. I just shipped it and sent an email. It is more expensive to use the Priority Global express which is Fed Ex through the USPS but it's worth it, gets through customs much faster. He will ship it back to you fast, it's getting it there that is a pain. Make sure $20 on the insurance and you must insure it! If you don't they open the box to determine a value and you are screwed for days in customs.

On his website it says to label it temporary unit for repair. is this necessary? In your earlier post you said not to ship on friday. If I went to the p.o. friday late afternoon is that bad? Probably would not make customs over the weekend, would it.

Warranty return on the customs doc is important, as long as it has the $20 value should be OK. If it doesn't say return they get taxed as if it was a new item they are buying. It just cost them more to get it in, they will share the cost with you if they have to pay extra.

Is there a fax # or another way of getting a membership registration to NASSOA other than snail mail? Payment will be easy as I will use paypal. Thanks for all your help.

I called them today, and asked about the shipping on Thursday or Friday. The woman I spoke to said this is only a problem for this weekend as it is the Easter holiday. Apparently they get a long weekend this week. She then referred me to Lyndon for my next question. I also asked about the ability to swap the tune back if you have HP tuners. I was told as of now you could swap back to the stock tune, but you could not re-install his tune this way. He did say he could save my stock tune for me on a disc, in case this option were to become available in the future.

PM Aspenrose, she can help you with that.

OK, I got the order form from NASSOA with no problem. I'm going to call in my order, and will ship it in a week or so. Now the "stupid" question: WHERE is the ECM located? What does it take to remove it?

Open the hood look down on the driver's side behind the wheel tub. There are two big wire harnesses in the top of it. Flip the two levers up to unplug the harnesses. If you can get your hands down in there. There are plastic clips that hold it into the bracket, one on each side. No tools necessary. unclip it and pull it up and out.

Westers Custom Performance Tunes is only 3 hr drive from me. I will be there within the next month to have them tune my car in their shop.

Pull the two fuses for the ECM first or the negative battery cable.

if you can scan it, make a pdf file of it..and email it to her that would work too

OK on the not sending on a Thursday or Friday is an observed issue by me, it sat in Customs for a week, it is not Westers that is the problem. It is Canadian Customs. I shipped my ECM on a Thursday, Westers got it on Tuesday a week later. Feel free to take your chances with Canadian customs, I was tracking the package and showed it hit Canadian customs on the Friday after I shipped it, and that is where it sat for over a week. You do what you want but that was my experience. Westers gets it back to us fast because it clears US customs very quickly.

I had said he was still working on the issues with HP tuners. He is a master dealer and I believe the last step for this to work is up to HP tuners. I know Westers it working with them.
