Am I understanding you correctly now? So the accessport wasn't the ECU work? but rather a code clearer - a map changer and some other things? Am I picking up what you're laying down? I'm still learning a lot. SO much to learn w/ these things.
A little bit. The Accessport allows you to change the ECU settings. The "tune" is the shop going in and adjusting those values to get the best HP number out of it.

I'm not an expert on the finer details of tuning a modern motor (which after the CFA I will be diving into), but it's kind of like overclocking your PC. Stock works fine but if you're looking for the optimum set up, then you have to change it.
