what do do about ECU in turboed max?

yes I already searched

you kids who put turbo in your max's, do you reprogram the ECU at all, swap it out to something else, or what? I'm guessing putting in a turbo is a little bit bigger of a deal than just putting in a y pipe where simply "resetting" it by unplugging the battery over night will do the trick.

So far there is not a turbo program written for the ECU for our cars.

I dunno. JWT offers reprogramming for any type of setup on a Maxima, you just need to tell them what you got, send in your ECU, and for an outrageous fee they will magically make it all work. Or just piggyback a boost controller to your ECU.

Me, I ditched my ECU for a Tec3 Electromotive system. No regrets.

As long as it is a 95 or 96 other than that you have no choice.

I guess Nigel is using the stock ECU, so maybe I don't need to make any changes at all to get it working properly.
