Welcome to the forum TTVN.

Technically the answer to your question is yes. You can download his tune and flash your PCM. However, there is no guarrantee that you'll be satisfied with the way your car runs with someone elses tune.

For the most part, the tuning community utilizes "other" tunes as a reference or a guide the types of tuning modifications for various setups. And at the end of the day, each PCM must be tuned for the engine it is controlling.

So in otherwords, it would be better to consider your mates tune as a reference or a starting point for you.
