ECU

Hi guys!
I want your opinion about having New mods on my gt86. I already have my borla headers placed an my exhaust (invidia) 2.5' inches.
I was thinking about having an ECU, but i'm searching about it and I don't see any information about that. Someone know where can I search for studying about that? Thanks in advance

Just to clarify, are you asking about ECU tuning?

For ECU tuning, a simple and cheap one would be the Open Flash Tablet. Check it out!

Or ECUtek if you don't mind spending a little more.

A good place to start is below. I think it give a pretty good overview of the basics, if it is a bit old.

Another good read, and more recent, is this. It includes a lot more information not necessarily focused on tuning, but worth the time to read it.

I personally have an OFT and am happy with it, but there are many reputable ecutek tuners. On an even lower budget you can do everything yourself as well. I recommend posting tuning questions in the "Software Tuning" sub forum since that's likely to get the right people's attention.

That's odd. I'm apparently a very rude person.

The 86 is awesome to tune, lot of adjustments. A good tune is night and day better. There are a lot of caned tunes also. Adding the header and exhaust will need a tune to maximize.

I have the ecutek..
