don't get a tuned ECU off ebay, they suck.

why do you need a fuel cutoff switch?

you should probably just get an rtek if you want to upgrade your ECU with something easy.

i guess it depends on what you are trying to accomplish..you know, the overall picture. stand alone engine management is always the best option for serious tuning. i prefer megasquirt due to its compatibility with the 7 and the fact that you can build it to your specs!

yeah, if you look in my sig I agree with you

but most people want a super simple solution. Not something they will actually have to tune.

then you need a fuel cut defender or a stand alone (or for a more plug and play an Rtek). A fuel cut switch is for shutting off the pump or injectors to help with flooding issues.
