I'm curious on some numbers. With my current NA setup, I wonder how much a JWT ECU would help me, other than cutting the speed/rev limiter. I have the Injen intake w/ CAE, Hotshot header, Random Technologies high-flow cat, and a stock cat-back. Anybody got any clues?

I'd suggest finishign off your N/A mods before you get a tuning, or don't get a tuning at all if you plan on switching to a turbo, because its worthless to you then. : )

I've just got so many things running through my head. And wish I had enough money at one time to do it all. :mad:

Well, the 500 would be better spend if you at least got an exhaust before the ecu...

I agree.The down time involved in sending in the ECU for re-programming each time you do a significant mod is killer.

And so is the cost of the re-programming!

Exactly, if you are going to stay N/A, get a decent mod list then reprogram. While it is "only" 100-200 dollars for a reprogram, after you already spent 500, its just not worth it till you have a system that will benefit. : )

Enjoy your day!
