I wrote this because I've seen so many horror threads; as well as this is what I tell all people that come to me for advice when they want me to turbo their ride.

If you can’t honestly be ready for all the above than wait till you are.

Perhaps you can help answer a question that has been bugging me for years. I have always wondered why the import guys are so quick to jump to standalone ECU's. On the domestic side of things I have seen people run high boost numbers while running stock ECU units just with a tune.

Theres alot more hand-held devices that can manipulate a domestic ecu. As well as their not running things like VVTI, MITEC, VETC and other sensitive item that are more prone to being on a economic import. So to get more control over items like vvti you need a standalone unit to do so. A AEM / FIC will not cut it nor will any Greddy Product. So to get the most from your tune you need a unit that can do it right.

I did enjoy the simplicity of a muscle car when working at Aerospace components. But even there, the real professional guys run stuff like, F.A.S.T and AEM STILL.
