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 a stand alone ecu is aways the better way to go. you should look into what AEM has to offer.
but it all really depends on just how much tuning needs to be done. minor adjustments can be made with a piggy back, while major ones should be done with a stand alone. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
