can tuned ECU's be swapped between cars?
If I have an ECU that was tuned on my car, can it be swapped into another car and maintain the tune?

The tune won't go any where in the ECU. It is in there until reprogramming happens. You could mail it to me and the tune is still in there. I can mail it back, same tune. To perform in another car is touchy. Even if the cars are identical, tunes might not be totally compatible between cars. You might need a tweak... Elmer |

PS, if you're selling it, you shouldn't be selling it with the tune as any sort of value. Without the VIN swap as a bare MINIMUM, the PCM is worth nothing more than a core. |

Yep! This! With your VIN in the PCM, in another car, it won't even start.
