Jim wolf ECU with supercharger, and mevi question

basically i have no idea how the chips work for the max, is it a slide in chip? what experience is needed to install it. If im buying it from jim wolf do i have to send my old one to them? basically i want to drop my car off on thursday some week, send my ECU in have it sent back by tuesday the following week. But from thursday to monday my supercharger will be being installed with the variable intake manifold.

has anyone done this already and can tell me the best way to go about this.

i just wanna have the supercharger, mevi, jimwolf ECU, and injectors all installed at once.


please give me feedback

All you do is remove your ECU and send it in to them. I think you'll have to make sure they know you'll be supercharged. Call them to verify. And also, JWT takes awhile to get your ECU back to you; you'll be best served by buying a spare ECU to prevent excessive downtime.

I don't think that all three will be done at the same time. Probably the first two and the 4th...unless you grab another ecu, your car will be down for awhile. It took my ecu about 2 months and 8 days to be modified. Your best bet is to do the s/c , vi, and injectors all at once. Buy a spare ecu for your car. Send it off (make sure you tell them to put the s/c program on it (i think it's an extra $300)). Then pray each night in hopes that the mailman puts the package under your pillow.

I don't think JWt makes a ECU for a 98, I think you have to use a 95-96 or early 97 ECU, but it'll probably throw codes.

Are you stick or auto?
