hmm, guess who just ordered a CA clip from Venus. And guess who's got an extra grand burning a hole in is pocket? Man this looks like a good buy. I'd have full tuneablity and not have to do any rewiring, right? Hmmmm...

Yep...those bad boys are plug and play replacement's for the stock ecu's...and you get the nifty fantastic commander that is practically two gauges in one! Too bad they dont make one for the KA's ;)

So do either one of you have experience with these? I was thinking SDS, but if this has the same tuneablity capabilties, then I'd MUCH rather go with this unit. Can you do things like upgrade injectors, change MAFS, change fuel/timing/boost maps? This really sounds right up my alley, I'd just like more info on it.

If I didn't need an intercooler so bad I would have bought it yesterday when I saw it. VERY rare and a very nice tunable piece too.

I don't wanna pay the buy it now price, so I'm hopeing nobody will snatch it up before the bidding ends on it. Damn buy it now..... I don't think it's a steal by anymeans, but they are harder than hell to find. I've never seen one for a CA for sale anywhere. Oh the suspense is killing me....

Somehow I don't think I could order it and get it here for that price. I'll bet shipping is a killer.

Ok, well I just emailed them, so we'll see how much it's going to cost to get it here and everything. If I can get it new for close to the same price then I'll just go that route. But I think I'm going to get one regardless. I'll keep you guys update on how it goes.

OK, so maybe I won't get the one off of ebay. I can get a brand new one from Greenline for less.

Power FC $837.00Commander $249.00Boost Kit $270.00Shipping $ 42.00----------------- Total $1,398.00

Thats with shipping and it being brand new. I'm going to email the guy and see if he'll take the price down. Maybe if I forward him that email, he'll work with me a little on it.
