you can use the auto ecu jsut fine if you are sending it out to get tunned, jsudt let them know. theres a slight difference for the idle. although im using my stock auto ecu now that im 5spd.

what do you need it tunned for? i guess for a turbo application. i would suggest an e-manage or aem ems (when it comes out), so you can tune to your car. some people do great with the jwt and some have problems. if your not going too extreme with your setup an e-manage will do great and be a couple hundred cheaper than the jwt. you will just have to tune it your self

guess you could say its sorta like driving a car for the first time. you know the idea but havent really done it. once you actually do it you get better. i used to be scared to tune myself thinking it would be so hard. my apexi safc is easy as that girl down the street now.

if you pay retail for everything you need it may come to about $500 or so (still less than jwt). you can find them cheaper for about $300 for everything. one nico member was jsut selling the main unit for $160. the extra harness are less than $200 retailif you cant find them on ebay or somewhere else.
