Does the JWT ECU need to be programmed?

I'm considering getting an upgraded ECU or piggyback air/fuel controller.

Is the JWT ECU a plug-and-play unit? (or do you have to hook it up to a dyno?)

Thanks in advance for your response.

JWT, you buy, plug in, and go

Piggybacks you have to tune.

JWT advances the ignition and give it a more agressive AFR, Most piggy backs can only adjust the AFR (SAFC/e-manage) and retard the timing (emanage).

The SAFC is more cost effective, but you dont get the ignition maps that you do with the JWT. Plus with a Piggy back you need to know what you are doing, JWT, you dont
