the venom "chip" is garbage.

the only ecu programs I would run are JWT or Z1....and the Z1 program is nearly identical to the JWT, just a little more aggressive, and its less than half the price

If you bought a Venom 400, you just thrown perfectly good money down the drain, instead of buying that 300$ "chip" spend a few hundred more and do a shot of nitrous if you want cheap HP, assuming your not driving a turbo z, then your options are limitless.

Don't listen to the just throwing a shot of nitrous at the car. The ECU upgrade is an essential early step in modding Z32's.

He has a TT btw Logan

Go with the Z1 ECU. I purchased and installed mine about 1-1/2 to 2 months ago and I love it! Its cheaper and easy to install, as it is a plug and play ECU. It also comes with the boostjets. Good luck!Here http://www.z1motorsports.com/p..._id=5

Usually the BPU stuff. I had intake and Turbo back exhaust and my crank pully when I did added the ECU. The good thing is they build it to you Z's specs and you can always have them re do it when you add more mods. I.E. Injectors, Dual intake, Intercoolers, etc...

I'd recommend doing intake, exhaust, and testpipes around the same time as the ecu/boost jets. Those four things will give you quite a healthy jump in HP versus stock (about 100hp).

Also, instead of the boost jets that come with the ECU, look into a quality electronic boost controller. Just don't turn the boost up too high
