imo if i was spending about 1000bux i would like to get a complete computer, not a rechipped ecu or piggy back. i would choose a brand that has been around and trusted time and time again. then i would think realistically if i needed "launch control" "data logging" "anti lag" etc if i were to chase only a small amount of power.

Although i was going to use an autronic ecu after i used the power fc but then scrapped the project, i think the power fc did everything i needed. scott from insight services (02 9621 2411) tuned my turbo dc2r to 268.5kw@wheels on c16 with 16psi and saw 212kw@wheels on 98pump with 11psi (ALL WITH STANDARD INTERNALS). It does not surge or jolt irregularly, cold start was like it was never touched, and fuel economy... i still mananged to do 350km's on a full tank at 11psi all day everyday and i have a very heavy foot at the traffic lights . Still managed to pull a 12.2quarter but how fast do u really wanna go? i started to snap parts like the driveshaft and lsd. but at the end of the day it was just a power fc without datalogging... launch control... anti lag...

Some people like to hide who tunes their cars or what they have under the bonnet, but who cares... id rather see more quick cars out there and share the info and experience i got from it.

my 2 cents.
