Corksport ecu

I've been checking out the corksport ecu's and thought they looked to be pretty good, just hoping to get some feedback pros, cons, advice from someone who has one, or better ideas, thanks.

standalone or R-TEK seem to be the way to go.

Take out ECU, make list of mods to the car, send ECU to CorkSport, ECU is programmed appropriately for the mods listed, ECU is sent back.


See how easy that is?!

I do have to ask, how do you know what the variables are? Do you have a list that you use? It's kind of boggled me as it sat as the Thunderbirds were the same way, put in 3.73 gears and send the chip off to correct the speedo, or add a bigger MAFS.

So, say my car is Supercharged, and has a bit of drag at low rpms, is there any way to make a warm up period that the car idles at 1800 RPM until warm? (ie what the thermo wax should do, but is disabled on my car) or anything to compensate for it so that it idles fine, etc?

Rtek is only for series five, I didnt konw that. how much of a gain can be expected for turbo with bpu and a few other goodies. Would I be able to send it in again to have it retuned for other mods that may come?

Exactly what do you call "programmed appropriately"? There are many other tuning varibles besides what's on a mod list. Since you can't even see the car let alone dyno it, what do you base the changes on?

A standalone with a BAC valve could be made to do this.
