What is TS ECU? I recently converted from auto to 5sp. My mech could only find a cal em ecu used. I'm running with it now with plans to purchase a new one from the dealer. They are going to adv the timing while they have the ECU. Is this the right way to go?

Advanced timing gives the engine more time to completly burn the air fuel mixture, and this results in more power at low to medium engine speeds. Overadvancing timing will result in power loss on top end.

I also stated in another thread, that if you feel you are losing power, check your oil level. I overfilled one time, and immediately felt a drop in power. The dipstick showed the level high, so I drained some oil, checked it again at a good level, and my power came back.
