without more info, you can't reasonably expect people to consider sending away their ECU to some dude in FL. yes, i know it's "Performance Racing", but 99% of us have no idea who they are, so a formal introduction is definitely in order. i know people are supposedly getting "information sent to them", but asking for private emails to send this information just sounds SHADY! i am aware that this site blocks things, but make a formal post with information pasted into this forum if you (Performance Racing) would like to seriously get our interest.
i'll be completely honest when i say that this whole post sounds shady as hell as it stands right now, so you've got a fat chance in hell of getting me to entrust my ECU to you without a full disclosure of:
1. what ECU reflash does (raise boost, lean out AFR, etc.).
2. how much it costs (and yes, "a lot less than $900" is WAY too vague).
3. company information complete with website and phone number.
yes, i know some of this information can be searched for, but if you want our business, make the effort.
if i sound skeptical in this post, it's because i actually AM thoroughly unimpressed by the way Performance Racing is doing business here. having a forum user (on both this forum and the mazda3 forum) make a post like this without a formal disclosure by the producer of the product is bad form to say the least. if you want our business for a product 99% of us have never even heard of from a company we are completely in the dark about, it's time to earn it.
I am not a sponsor on this forum yet, so I cannot post a sale/GB here yet, and NYpest was kind enough to help spread the word.
We will be tuning AFR by altering boost, timing, etc.
Price is comparable to the Cobb AP. We sell the Cobb AP as well, but prefer our reflash for obvious reasons
I hope this is a relevant question that will not prove inflammatory....
Will Stage 1 be the Australian flash or something more?

A bit more if we need to tweak it, which we will not since ALL MPS/Speed motors are the same (MPS3/Speed3).
Stage 2/2+/3 will all be more aggressive, more boost, etc, pretty exciting.
we shall see. i have severe reservations still. in addition the very way they do this is really quite sloppy. i mean, in order to go in for a dealer visit, you would have to ship your ECU back to the dude in FL to get a reflash back to stock...go to the dealer...RESHIP back to FL for a reflash back to the "performance flash". in the end, a simple dealer warranty job just cost you how many days of downtime? (bang)
Your dealer really does not read the PCM for updates... I've seen my dealer reflash my ECU with updates, twice. they hook it up and let the computer do the work.
As I was quoted from another forum to here, we retain factory settings related to your VIN (Car-specific) making it harder for Mazda to see we've flashed your ECU unless they
look for it.
Also, if we can get a group of 6 or more in an area, I am willing to fly out and perform reflashes for you all for me to see.
I am not just some guy, I am the owner of Performance Racing, in FL and have been driving a Mazda6 from 03-06 and now drive a Mazdaspeed6.
I bring new things to the market not just to sell, but for myself, the community and because I simply love doing these things.
My price is almost $200 less than what the guys in Australia are charging.. for the same, exact reflash... just to prove I am not all about making money.
