I loved the NA ECU I got from them. Their boosted ECUs with the 555cc and z32 program suck though. The waiting period sucks, took 12 weeks to get my ECU back, but once I did, it was a great mod.

I bought one of the ****ty turbo program ecus off of a member here and sent it to jwt to get the NA program and it still took them almost 5 weeks to reprogram it. I'm happy with it but it took forever to get it back.

Their NA program is decent. If you plan on boosting and getting a boosted program, do something else like emanage ultimate.

I have been waiting over a year for my NA JWT ECU. Nothing but excuses and bad experience.

Basically buy an NA one used or get EMU.

Thanks for the compliment.
They turnaround time does suck. Thats why when there sold used for 600.00 its a good deal even though some complain that they can almost be bought new for that price. Buying it used eliminates the waiting, plus down time.

i would buy a used jwt ecu. that's what i did. if you're patient enough, you'll find one on here for less and probably before they could send you your ecu back.

Does anyone know why it takes them so long to program the ECUs? Are they just slow about it or is it some time consuming process?

when I called them wondering what was taking mine so long, they kept saying how they were extremely busy and didn't get to it yet. It doesn't seem like they could be that busy all the time though.

It's not time consuming. Maximas are just a tiny tiny share of their business so they just don't care enough to do them faster.
