Hey
I wanted to buy a apexi power fc for my car but I cant find a tuner in new zeland for it so i got told by the same shop to put in a HKS I.S piggyback ecu. I dont no much about tuning but what i have read about piggyback ecu's has made me think that they are not very good. Is the HKS piggyback a good choice or should i get a stand alone ecu? Any background info on piggyback ecu's is much appreciated as Google didnt help me much... EDIT# My goal is only 250hp at all four wheels# with stock motor, mods will be 3' exhaust, spark plugs and leads, fuel pump and pod filter. Thanks for any help This post has been edited by beno: Jan 25, 2007 - 8:29 PM |

yes, with a piggy back you get to keep all the stock safety features.
i highly doubt magic is making that much power on a stock ct20b. hopefully he will stop in here and tell us about his setup. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
