i've noticed several ECU chips being advertised in different places, but are they really worth it ? they sound too good to be true, that is, increase horsepower AND mpg's in just 15 minutes for 70 bucks .. ??
does everyone have one of these except me ? am i that late to the "party" ? just wanted to ask for anyones two cents worth on the subject. thanks to one and all in advance. -al |

It really depends on your everyday situation. Unless you're fitting performance parts to your celica to do sunday cups than go for it... but you really wouldnt want an ECU for everyday driving. When you fit an ECU into a stock celica, you think you've noticed something different but there really wont be much difference at all. ECU = Placebo effect. Might as well buy a packet of chips and stick it under your hood. You'll notice something too, your car's engine power will smoke competition for sure
