OK ECU UPgrade or Piggy back, the other great debate,ECU vs PIGGY BACK Options

[justooln2]

Hello All this is another debate for all to tell me there opinions. I have decided on what header to get. if you dont know from the other debates my exst man is cracked BAD, I have the boost turned down as it is and if i get to throttle happy I hit my FUEL CUT<><><>< BAD times. ok so now i am looking for either a replacement ECU that i can send out to get the mods done, or get a Apex'i S-AFC II Alright Tuners give me your brains thoughts later ppl

Well, I suppose it's a good thing that you're getting the exhaust manifold situation handled.

Now as far as fuel cut goes, an Eprom ECU is the only thing that will truely fix fuel cut altogether. An SAFC II can delay fuel cut but at some point you're still going to have a problem with it. Get an Eprom ECU, have it socketed and a chip burned for your modifications and request that fuel cut be eliminated.

An SAFC II can delay fuel cut but at some point you're still going to have a problem with it.

And furthermore, if the car hits fuel cut on a basically stock setup at low boost, that SAFC isn't going to do you a damn bit of good. Fix the ECU first, then get fuel management.

A basicly stock setup should NEVER fuelcut. A 14b has to be pushed pretty far to hit it and at minimum boost that should never happen. Have you put a logger on it to see what's really going on?

get an eprom ecu and then get wort to burn a chip for ya

[black92_tsi_awd]

The hard part is tracking down a eprom ecu

[jvb6806]

i am running both a chipped ECU from wort and an SAFC. the chip was burned to my injectors, fuel cut delete, and a few other things to get a base tune, and then i use the SAFC to do the fine tuning depending on what boost i am running and the temp.

so i guess my short answer would be BOTH.

for what it is worth when i was still running the 14b i would get fuel cut in the winter with 450's at like 16psi.

and my advise would be to get an SAFC not an SAFCII because that joy stick thing is annoying as all hell and you can tune just fine in the 1000rpm incriments.

Who ever said its still a stock set up>> I am running out of things to do with the car,, i have a select few things left to do, what i am thinking is going on is the car is actually processing to much air, it is running GREAT for the most part haha ( still cant use it all ) i do wanna use the noisy pedal but i cant use all of it lol does anyone have any EPROMS for sale, or better yet does anyone know where i can get one with all the proper mods already done?? with out breaking the bank later and thanks for all the input

[The Iron Goat]

How 'bout this: you tell us clearly and concisely exactly what mods your car has. Everything you've bolted, welded or glued to that car needs to be listed in a clear, easy to read form. I don't think I'm alone in saying that it's hard to understand what you have going on with the car when the mods are unknown. Maybe then we can help you.

[natedogg]

Yes. Give us some info about your car so we know what we're dealing with here. Help us, help you.

Ok thanks for all the info// Ok I got some new toys here now.. Header, T28, 3"highflo cat (I currently have a test pipe-and yes I want the cat) racing seats,, and some other S*@T. I have an EPROM now but I am having a hella time trying to find some place to get it socketed and chipped.. well I got a place to socket it.. but I don’t feel like chasing my but trying to get it all done..

for a 2g go here

http://www.dsmchips.com/

There are a few of us around that will do 1g chips, but 2g chips are trickier

[justooln2]

thanks i will get ahold of him and see what we can get done.
