[QUOTE="RedVenom48, post: 15493074, member: 166576"] Ecu id is programmed to the ecu unit itself. Handheld tuner wont be able to change that, only a Ford IDS tool. ECU must also be programmed with As Built data to funtion properly. The calibration id is what is assigned to the factory tune or CARB EO tune. From my understanding simply naming a non OEM or EO tune the calibration id of a factory tune will not allow it to pass. Handheld flash tuner can in no way alter the database from which the calibration is cross referenced. Data from the tune written for the car can only be changed by tuning software that a tuner will use. Nothing you have access to as the end user of the flash tuner can change the content of the factory calibration. You can download it to the tuner when you pair the debice. you can even change input data ( gearong idle speed etc), but the actual instruction and code in the tune cannot be changed by just the flash tuner. My suggestion is that if you have more questions, you need to contact CARB. All I've been able to say about this subject is here in this thread, with mutiple people confirming it or have real world experiences failing trying to get a non CARB tune through a smog inspection. Some have had success, majority havent. Gods save you if you ever have to have recall work done. One of us evil flat rate soul stealers might have to *gasp* work on your car and fix it. [/QUOTE]
