if currently your car isn't having problems running with what you have on it i would suggest you keep modding it up until you start to have idle problems or serious air/fuel ratio problems like your car is burning more gallons per mile running lean or running too rich. either or, if you aren't having many problems i would wait to get an ECU chip because they tune it to what mods you already have on your car.

LOL isn't there a nice Apexi NEO version of the same thing for sale for like 240 bucks on e-bay? it also has setting selection and personal programing available?

i thought everyone was looking for good deals like me, but apparently not!!!(don't worry i haven't bought a fuel management system yet, but i don't need one yet)

how come? i mean i am really asking, because i know practically nothing about fuel management systems and ECU chips or flashing. i can replace any part needed and i can customize dam-near anything, but when it comes to the computers and computer programing systems its like, "DDDDDEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRR my name is the Shane and i lik to computer, DDDDDEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRR?"

i can find dam-near anything online and work almost any program after i learn how to run it, but when my programing buddy starts doing a internal hard drive sweep on his car with his laptop and shows me the syntax codes he uses to push his little 2.0L SR20DE motor to over 400HP with only 18 lbs of boost i feel a little like a asshat. i'm a very smart guy, but computers just mesmerize me. so please hook me up with a little insight to the ECU programming and fuel management systems. i mean i get how the settings of the ECU/ECM run everything and how fuel ratio's work, but as far as which pieces the systems run and how they work its just like i said before, "DDDDEEEEEERRRR my name is Shane and i do modificate engimacins real gewd, DDDDEEEEEERRRRRR!"

so i guess that the only need for a A/f management system would be upgrading the fuel system adding in different compression heads and a turbo......

You can't "trick" this ECU with a plug/play controller. You either need a full standalone system or you need to reflash your ROM.
