Hey guys,

Just an observation so let me know what you think. Seems that everytime the ECU senses that something has been modified it goes into a "don't fukc with me" mode. Here's why: When I put my Injen on I felt a pretty big difference the first couple of days, then I started losing low-end but high-end was still pretty good. I reset the ECU a few times and saw some improvement, but quickly it would be back to dragging @ss. Then I had to put stock intake back on for the dealer to replace my MAF (due to ping/knock...another thread). Now that the car is back, it pulls nice and even through the whole range and even better then ever (but still pings). Even better than when I first put the Injen back on. I know the ECU "learns" but mine only seems to get dumber.

So whats the deal? Maybe get a technosquare ECU?

 

First off, I wish I was in Las Vegas, I am jealous.

I have the same issue as you. I am currently saving for the ECU upgrade, however I am buying a spare first. I can't afford the three day down time for my car. I figure I need 700.00, 5 for technosquare and 2 for additional ecu. I have K&N, it sounds great but feels like I lost at little down low.

 

how are you going to deal with the kill-code problem? They say if you want a 'spare' ecu you have to send them BOTH so they can get the code off the original one so they can program it in the new one... how will you get past that?


my car runs fine with my injen... no knock/ping/hesitation...no maf problems.

 

Ooops, I have been researching this ECU upgrade and I must have missed that. I assumed if I had the spare, I could plug it back in for stock settings. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Now I don't know if I should get ECU upgrade or Cattman Y pipe.


Back to the drawing board, thanks again.

 

can you really not handle a 3 day down time. send it overnite monday nite...it arrives tuesday morning, they ship out same day, you get it wed. morning....i guess it's easier for me...i take the train to work and the car never gets touched throughout the week.
