hey i was wondering if any on this forum knew anything about the corksport ecu uprgrade, im interested in buyin it but have had no feed back on it. thank you for your time

 

Contact Corksport and ask them about the upgrade eg what to expect boost wise, etc. I installed an ECU upgrade in my S5TII, and without any other equipment, right out of the box it took the boost from 7 to 10/11 lbs. That's with the stock air intake system and 2.5" exhaust.

 

They are just a vendor for the tuner in CA that makes them. They made claims to me so I called the guy who makes the chip and basically it depends on your set up. The guy told me that he couldn't guarantee it for a ported motor and he idealy needs to chip the ECU then dyno test it and make adjustments. I can't remember the guys name who makes the chips but if I were you I would talk to him personally before making a decision.

 

i have 89 s5 tII also with few mods, almost similair, do you like how its behaving and also im new to all this but the ecu maps out the fuel and stuff so the car doesnt run to lean or rich, if thats correct, is this ecu a wise choice to get for my car, i have a stage two turbo, racing beat full exhaust and thats it. please help me im lost in the car scene lol

 

How much is it. I was thinking of this to.

Too bad Rtek doesn't make a S5 chip.

 

I would save the $300 and just go for a full stand alone when you have enough money. It'd be better to have a stand alone ECU dyno tuned specific to your modifications, octane rating, weather pattern, altitude, etc.

I am a firm believe in stand alone's, however if you can not wait for a stand alone I would go with something that has a little more support then the Corksport ECU....perhaps a Greddy E-Manage? Or something similar to it? I'll probably call Greddy myself and find out if they know of results with the e-manage.
