Every week more people are being ripped off due to your actions.Hopefully someone in our Government will have the sense to make you right your wrongs. The truth is there, they just have to see it and act upon it.It was amazingly easy to get all the evidence straight from the mouths of those involved and SCT even sent me emails at one point telling me how they didn't like supporting the Xcal 1 so this hastened their decision to turn it off! Like the consumer cares about the problem you made for yourself by dumping old stock in this market.

It will not work on another car other that the car it was originally used on. SCT (parent company) no longer support these flash tuners and by selling it to some one you are leading them up the garden path.Do the right thing and end it.His reply I suggest you call CAPA and talk to them. Mail order tunes can still be installed on these boxes provided you send them your vin details. In other words *beep* off. If you don't want to bid don't send me Messages. - brendan3Anyone wanna "assist" in sending this person a number of messages with the same info.As far as the mail order bit is this the case?http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120780262802&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:AU:1123 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/68837-xcal-1-going-offline-discussion/page/53/#findComment-1143465 Share on other sites More sharing options...
YamahaTech Member 6 Member For: 13y 6m 8d Posted 04/01/12 08:16 AM Share Posted 04/01/12 08:16 AM If you are looking for a custom tune then yeahhh, I'd feel really sorry for the bloke that buys one off ebay.BUT........If you are only looking to spend a couple hundred dollars and can't afford cooler, exhaust, injectors and a custom tune blah blah blah and are NOT chasing numbers, but rather after a cheap power up to your standard vehicle, then CAPA CAN clear a locked Xcal 1 box and supply you with a generic tune for a total of $250. That's cheap if you are only chasing an extra 30kw or so to help tow your caravan or trailer lol ... But that's a fact!! And to crucify some poor bastard looking to offload a cheap box on ebay ISN'T fair.. talking about FAIR and fair trading and consumer rights. These old boxes DO serve a purpose and are NOT completely useless at all.

On 04/01/2012 at 7:21 PM, sexual harrassment panda said: lol at a intune generic being remotely safe at least I got a laugh out of this thread finally after 14 pagesGeneric tunes are very safe up to a certain PSI. Of course custom is better (from reputable places) and when going 10psi plus, an absolute necessity.My car has done 180Ks on 8psi generic (been in there since I bought the car - previous owner did it). With larger intercooler, K&N and exhaust it still runs like the day I bought it - bar a massive turbo failure which was not tune fault, but oil feed line. Surely that suggests its safe.Custom tunes are far superior, but Yamaha is right and they might serve some purpose for small $$ for extra rwkw without going too far. But for those who want to customise their car as per a XCal 3, they are being blatantly ripped off.
