Default Do I need to reset my ECU once weekly.......

.......after I get my V-AFCII installed and tuned? Also, when I get my VAFC tuned, do I need to get my ECU tuned too, or are they both the same thing?

According to some, if tuned for WOT only, no reset is necessary. If tuned for part throttle then yes, a regular reset is required.

If you go get a vafc tune.. that's the only thing there is to tune.. AND partial throttle is when your driving, but NOT FLOORING IT. WOT = FLOORING IT, mashing the gas, pedal to the metal, whatever you want to call it. SO YES IF YOU WANT PARTIAL THROTTLE + WOT then you would have to reset it once a week or so. But the only time your vafc really comes into play, is at WOT because you aren't going to be using all of your power in partial throttle anyway.. I feel like I've answered this question a couple times but oh well

The stock ecu is non adjustable/tunable. That's why ya got the V-AFCII
