Sweet. Can I be the first to ask how much it cost?

That ECU was overpriced anyway. Good luck.

Becareful you know what you're getting yourself into on these aftermarket ECUs. There's no way to tell what kind of fuel map and timing curves are programmed in. Too much timing is a deadly thing to a turbo car. The fuel part is easy enough to correct with a piggy-back though.

That depends. I have an EPROM reader, but I'll be damned if I read hexi-decimal.. you? I don't have a program that graphs the points or puts the data into a fuel chart.

Exactly. My motor came with a Mines ECU and the car runs rich as hell. I just got a AFC2 to lean it out a bit. I had to back down the timing some because it detonates in the high rpms.

Well the motorset cost me , $1440. He included some xtra parts as well. I only bought the tuned ECU to hold onto, I don't plan to have it installed on the car yet until everything else is ready to go. Don't need any problems off the back. Also have a nice FMIC to go on.
