swap ECU or not?

Ok, Got a Borla installed, got the windows tinted, swapped pedals and cornel lenses...now i'm thinking about an ECU swap.

Should the TechnoSquare be my next mod? Any glorious tales to share? Horror Stories? It looks like such a simple install, and a fairly cheap mod...i'm curious what HP gains are people seeing and any other info you would care to share.

Thanks in advance!

Just re set yours for now, I personally don't think they are worth the trouble or the expense.

I suggest you do a search and take advice from those who actually have the TSI ECU upgrade.

5AT or 6MT?

I'd do the intake next, especially if you have the 6MT.

[img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img] it doesn't matter. The chip should realease about 30hp from the tinted windows, new pedals and clear corners

I'd definitely go with the Tornado electric supercharger next! Then a GTR emblem.

Re: swap ECU or not?

IMO, the ECU is really nice. with an intake, the sound at 7100 rpm is wicked. also, unpluggin your batt every month is just annoying and stupid. you'll like it for sure.
