What does everybody who has replaced there OEM ECU use?

Is there one that is better for the 04+ or is there a specific brand that performs better?

Does anybody use the AEM Series 2? - http://www.aemelectronics.com/engine...ent-system-30/

All help appreciated

AEM for earlier cars. Flashpro for later drive by wire cars.

Loads of threads about both of these if you search around.

I use AEM in my 05 car.

Depends what you want it to do really.

Well so far the mod list on the engine stands at:

Berk De-Cat Pipe.
Buddy Club Header.
Buddy Club Dual Prospec 3 Exhaust.
Custom catch can system, with welded connections to the valve cover.
Greddy Oil Cooler and MOCAL thermostat system.
AEM UEGO Wideband Gauge.

So im thinking possibly look at a ECU to get the most out of the mods so far?

I am thinking about getting a AEM FIC controller, it is a mini piggy back ECU that controls injection and timing I think. It is mappable and should unleash some power from basic mods like breathing...I am told.

Much cheaper than the AEM Programmable ECU!

Iirc the aem fic can't do, I think it's advance timing so f@#k all use for na as most of the tune will need to be advanced.

Oh...

Standalone if you want best results, or use a greedy emanage ultimate which I'd use which is a piggyback.

Well the FIC was only £400 mapped which was the attraction, don't want to spend another fortune on mods!

If you dont want to spend a fortune I'd get a greddy emanage ultimate, I've had good success with it and will do everything you need it to do. I've mapped it myself though.
