It is a computer that completely replaces your stock ECU.
You hook up the sensors, injectors etc, and map it however you want.
EG: Wolf, Haltec, Microtec...
Not to be confused with a piggyback system that adjusts the stock sensor signals to the stock ECU.

Well, technically, the installation is just hooking up the wires and sensors.
Making everything work well and reliabilty is a whole nother ball game.
I don't think most people can tune a stand-alone to make efficient power and work as close or better than the stock ECU on a daily driver.

He asked about installation, not tunning.....
TUnning is a fair amount more difficult than installatino!

Um, whats wrong with installing the microtech yourself, and using the pre-made maps and getting it professionaly dyno tuned? I know its a decent amount of cash, but well worth it I guess.
Or if you want... buy a portable wideband 02 sensor and hand held display.
