Are you talking about going to get them to tune it or are they doing a basemap for you?

You will need to get it tuned either way to get the most out of your setup, and the neptune or hondata will give you a lot more options and features than just a chipped ecu.

Don't put Neptune in the same with Crome. Crome is obsolete. Neptune is active with way more stability, features, support, etc than Crome has or ever has had

You can have your car tuned on neptune by using a standard socketed/chipped obd1 ecu.

USDM vs JDM case sizes.

JDM ECUs are the square size
USDM ECUs are the larger rectangular size.
