Factory transponder immob is part of the ecu.
GD MAF isn't an issue & is reliable, you won't get remotely close to maxing it out with stock heads,cams & 205 bottom end. Only the GC8 film type MAF's are/were unreliable.
I don't understand why you'd be interested in giving it the flick when it won't be your limiting factor power-wise, nor be unreliable.
MAF systems take less time to tune (less $$), cold start is always spot on, off boost mapping is more accurate ( MAF resolution) & they allow for more variables before someone needs to pull the lappie out & retune it.
The 44s is getting on a bit & the new Link G4 or Vipec are a different kettle of fish with much faster processors & more developed firmware......Even if they have no knock control out of the box -STILL-!! |
why do they get such a good rap on here then? (i know the posts are old, but that doesnt worry me much)
i thought the immob had its own
ecu, so that is a negative aspect for me.
i know the
maf has good points, but given the chance i prefer map for simplicity if i can.
i can get this
ecu $350, tune would be 3 or 400 im guessing - seen posts on here saying verso from asg is $1200? - fairly decent price difference, but if its going to fuck with my immob & finding a tuner is going to be difficult i will give it a miss.
thanks a lot
