I just installed it last night so I really haven't had much time with it, but for the hour I was out last night I still have a smile on my face

Your car looks fantastic, Mike!!

Glad you are happy with ECU upgrade, it is a no brainer isnt it??

Turbo Mike, can you give us some more info about the chip install:
* Did you do it yourself?
* Any other engine\exhaust mods prior to chipping?

Also, what H&R springs did you add to your car, and how is the ride compared to stock?

Thanks in advance...your Turbo looks great.

Here is something that one should consider. Most customers will have the 1bar upgrade bug last for 3-6 months and they are wanting the next upgrade.. The problem is many 1bar chip tuners do not have successful upgrade paths to higher HP turbo kits. I offer a $1,000 credit for the Staged turbocharger systems. So in the bigger picture one might only have to upgrade and pay $400.00 more out of there pocket for a complete tuning system. With my entry level flash you get 3 programs (including your original stock file) and a programmer that can contain 8 files.. That to me is worth an extra $400.00, If you are going to upgrade at a later date..

Again, if you think that you are content with just a 1 bar flash, cheaper options might be the fix. Yeah, until the ZO6 pull up to you or another modded turbo...

An even cheaper alternative is to remind yourself that there are always faster cars out there.

this is my toy, something to play with on the weekends. It doesn't matter how much Hp you put in your car there will always be someone with more. It could never end. the only other thing I will do will be an exhaust.

Turbo Mike

I took the ECU out myself and sent it in
I did the Evom diverter valves and a K&N air filter
exhaust will come next (need to build some capital )
The H&R springs I got from tire rack (the ones listed for my car) the isn't bad I think having the new wheels made more of a change in ride (rears 315/25/19 very low profile)

...that's what they all say

Mike,

How long did they have your ECU for?? and is it easy to take out and then re-install??

What exhaust are you going for??

I keep on researching and I really can't make up my mind which one to buy...

Turbo Mike

The ECU wasn't that hard to get out maybe 30-40 min it behind the back seat under the sub (if you have a bose system) go to this web site it had step by step instructions with pictures ( http://216.7.173.213/forums/showthre...t=removing+ecu)
I'm not sure yet on the exhaust I'm mainly looking for sound, (I don't want to blow a ton of money either) I've been leaning more toward Fabspeed but I've seen this "Agency Power Porsche 996TT Exhaust system" from vivid racing and the price of the Stainless system without tips is about $2500 and the titanium about $3500 not bad
