Looking for info regarding HP Tuners and 97 VIN in 02 OS
Anybody know of any good deals on EFI Live V2 units? I think I might have to go that route.
Just got a whole load of goodies for my '97 C5 and due to me converting to a 0411 I need to use EFI live to keep my VIN in the newer OS. I have been told HP Tuners cannot do this. Can't really get an answer if there is a way around it or not. My local emissions testing requires the VIN to match and also all ready checks to pass.
I searched for used and any new deals in the parts section from vendors but, came up blank.
Open to offers or suggestions. If I have been given wrong info regarding the VIN please share your knowledge.

Thank-you for your input.
I have been back and forth with the Tech guys at HP Tuners over the past few days and I will share here what I have been told.
It has been said that IF the OS and VIN are on the PCM prior to me using HP tuners I will be fine and only need to spend 2 credit to register the car.
So I will be sending my 0411 PCM out to be flashed.
Once I get my HP Tuners kit and the PCM back I will update my findings. I hope I do not have issues with a VIN/OS mismatch but we will find out.
I still have to finish the install of my Cam, Supercharger and heads though. It might be a few weeks.
