No, They aren't a re-tunable ecu. They have a specific tune flashed on to the eeprom for a specific list of mods.

Save your money & find a power Fc or similar.

Any idea what mods work best with this chip? I'm only really aiming for 250-260 tops, fairly conservative I think.

can't be bothered spending so much money, just saw this thing cheap and thought what if.. not really in the market for one/needing one now just came across it. Thanks for advice guys, now i realise it's power FC or GTFO!

and besides, saving money for crack is always worth it!

100 Ron fuel for starters......

260 at the wheels is approx 310 at the crank (approx a 95 hp gain over the stock 207 hp) Don't waste your money on a reflashed Jap ecu.

The mines ecu is an outdated flash eeprom...... Plus the importer selling it doesn't know what "Stage" the ecu is, Mines did 4 stages of tune for the early WRX.

You & your engine are way better off buying a used - live tunable ecu- like an Autronic, Link or PowerFC.
