with the emanage, you will have to load a map into it or else it won't run, esp if u buy it 2nd hand, it will have a map on it for the previous car
OR what you can do is drive to tuner with stock ecu (will run like shiet) and just wire it outside his workshop
yeah, after some recalculations, mine went over budget too and i realised its still worth it as im not using stock parts & if im going to do it, might as well do the upgrades cause there is no point in doing stock parts & then im going to change it down the track. so technically im saving $$ in labour & in the long run.
im going to be sticking with the emanage unless i find a PFC for dirt cheap (like under $800 lol) which will be easier but $$ dont justify for them when an emanage is only $500 & under for the unit + all harnesses.
