Default WRONG!

the technically correct answer would be..

"the price of shipping or gas to your nearest APR dealer/distrubutor."

Default or

gathering the mass amounts of energy required to download it and burn it to the chip yourself.

Default .. then dick around with APR on the phone when the programmer doesn't work

<rant>
"Uhh..well there's a lot of things we can do to try and fix the problem"

Right.. if the ****in programmer can't read the Flash ID on the chip, then something is NOT wrong with the computer but with the ECU, since the programmer was used to flash other chips.

So now I gotta pay to ship the farkin thing to APR since I'm not going to dick around for an hour on the phone for them to tell me what I already know.
