JWT VS TS ECU Which one is Better for a 00 VI conversion

Hi guys, I'm going to be upgrading to 01 VI and I'm having a hard time deciding what to do.
I currently have a TS ECU w/o rev limiter mod so I can only push it to 6500 rpm's. and I read somewhere a while back that even with the new TS program that is suppose to increase the rev limit it still doesn't go that much higher compared to JWT ECU. Anyone know if this is still the case or if they have improved or should I just sell it and go with the JWT.

Thanks for any help in advance!

Well the JWT is really the only option between the two. The TS program doesnt have the raised rev limiter so the VI wouldnt be at its true potential.

yeah, JWT is the way to go. Although the JWT isnt perfect, ideally id go with a greddy EU, because the JWT alone isnt tuned specifically for the car, just a general tune. I find mine runs pretty lean for the most part in closed loop (part throttle), and full throttle was too rich.

does the job though, the JWT is the only one that has the increased rev limiter, i believe 7200 is the norm. TS was suppose to be coming out with a raised rev limit along time ago but i dont think they ever cracked it, and if they did i think it was only to 7000rpm. I would reccomend the 7200. Shifting at 7000rpm is easier that way, where as if your trying to shift at 7K when you hve the rev limit set at 7K can be difficult.

7000 is the norm for the jwt, some guys have gotten 7200 or higher.
