I'm looking into getting a piggy back ecu for my next step in performance upgrades.... what is the best one to get...

also I've heard that ECUs are only as good as the guy who programs them... I'm in New Hampshire/ Upstate NY most of the time what are the closest places that will do a good job programing an ECU?

 

Is the TXS UTEC from turboxs a piggyback? I thought it was an ECU replacment.

 

nope......from what i understand it's a seperate system.....and its's programable by the driver.....so you don't need a tuner.

let me know if i'm wrong on this one.......i may have misunderstood all the lit. i read!!!!!

later, riggs

 

Straight from the turboxs website FAQ

"Is the UTEC a piggy-back computer or a stand alone engine management system?

The UTEC is a really a bit of both. It acts as a stand alone system in that it gives you complete control over ignition timing and boost. Fuel control, however, is piggy-backed off the factory ECU. The UTEC allows you to modify the MAF voltage, giving you the ability to control Air/Fuel ratios and to run larger than stock injectors. The factory ECU is also used to manage some of the more mundane functions that are necessary to keep a car drivable on a daily basis. Some examples are cold start, hot start, acceleration fuelling and closed loop fuel control. With future software upgrades available free from TurboXS, the UTEC will eventually allow complete control over fuelling allowing the user to eliminate the Mass Air Sensor."
