Hey everyone it might be a newbie question but I wanna know, I see a lot of "Greddy E-Manage Ultimate w/ Universal Harness" for sale & how to's but I never knew the benefit of adding this on your Max or replacing it with your stock Ecu. Hope you can help me out! Thx!

anyone?

It doesnt replace it just piggy backs it to tune and make more power

Thanks, I know some guys who tell me that you can use one ecu for fuel & the other for timing? Is that correct?

No. The emanage ultimate intercepts and modify's the signals for both fuel and timing coming from the stock ECU.

It must makes a huge difference if it's priced for so much

Read this. Its all a simple concept really.

the emanage is just an electronic device that runs in line with your factory ecu to alter the input/output time/duration of certain functions (injectors, coilpacks, etc.) to increase engine power and to make it safe to run certain extreme mods.
