Chances are it's for an SR, so unless you have one it'll do you no good. Usually those chips are tuned for highly modded cars so if you've got ghetto intake and catback or whatever no gains will be seen. My buddy bought one and it just messed up his car. His idle was off and the car ran rich or sumthin like that.

I have never heard of it, So i would not go with it. Do you have an ECU?

What motor do you have? SR?

MR2NER-- I have the red top engine in and everything is installed... just the wiring is left. I have tons of mods I did on the install. Thanks for telling me that his car ran rich off the ECU. I couldn't find anything in 2 days of hard searching, so maybe it's a scam?!? tinted-- I don't have an ECU besides my original KA24E ECU (#10), just looking for a tuned one to give me no fuel cut or boost cut out.Thanks guys

Why not a standalone that you can adjust for yourself...?

How much do standalone ECU's run for?? There's stock JDM ECU's on Ebay for like 200 bones, but i want a tuned one for the extra 100 if you know what I mean... 500 bucks is out of my budget

i'd just get the stock one.

A good standalone is way expensive 1500-10,000

I ended up getting a Mine's for 280... not too shabby and a much more trusted name. I'm not rich enuf for the standalone but maybe someday.
