    Are there any tuners for the L26 engine? I was told the pcm for them is different and I know HP tuners only support the L36.

    the l26 is damn near identicle to the l36, why could you not tune it with HPTuners?

    Because anything after '05 you have to buy an '04-'05 PCM or it can't react with the interface of the program IIRC

    So with HP tuners I would need to buy a gen II pcm and then the tuner itself?...Damn I was hoping that someone made one for the l26.

    Since yours is an '06...you would have to buy either a '04 or '05 PCM...otherwise when you flash it the gas gauge will read in reverse IIRC. That is it...otherwise...you can still tune them.

    Bah, How annoying...What is the difference in the PCM's themselves? (Between the 04-05 and the 06+)
