i do dyno tuning for a living, and i would say that any computer will make similar power, but its everywhere else that you do 95% of the driving, and i find the interpolation of the load points on the microtech to be somewhat poor.

Is that tuning in matrix mode or normal

Cause yeah they only have 16 bit tuning from what i remember

Tuning in the normal mode will give you really poor economy if you dont tune it correctly.You will need someone who has tunes with them all the time.If you tune in matrix mode it will give you more tuning points but still needs more.The new Microtech LT16 will be a great ecu and cheap.If you wish to wait for it.32 bit map tuning and downloading to the laptop.

The haltech,Wolf,Motec,Autronic etc ecus have 32 bit

which means you have more tuning points in your load maps.Problem with most of these ecus is setting them up and installing them.But 90 % of them now come PLUG N PLAY and have a base map to get you started.

Your tuners should have a problem with haltech so if i were you id head that way.HALTECH E11 PLUG N PLAY.Or wait for the new Microtech which shouldnt be to far away

as post befor

yes i have one a find it great had a few tuners look very funny at me when i told them i had one and said i should through it away.

i came across a workshop that had only ever dabled in them and they took the chalange to tune it and i have never looked back yes the link has a few little thing my tuner said he would like to get rid of but other then that im making good power and drivabilty is fine just got to get a good tune?

well thats my 2 cents if any more question pm RaceingLine he will be able to help you out.

but then again if i had a choice in ECU i would get somthing everyone can tune just to make it easyer to choose a workshop.

      I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up

      Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
