I've gotten the opportunity to buy a used pettit but i dont know if it's any good.

Made a search but didnt find any good info.

My mods will be: bigger intercooler, DP, MP or high flow catback, open air filter.

Will also do a few other mods but they arent any hp gain mods.

I live in sweden so if im gonna buy a new ecu like an apexi pfc it would cost me about $1400-1500 with shipping.

Dont know the price on the used pettit but i think he bought it for about $600.

What is the price for a new pettit and how is it compared to a PFC tuning wise?

Read through this thread:

It all really depends on your goals with the car as to where your money should go...

TobiasRX

damn, know it's even harder to choose

i'm not sure i got the money for a PFC this year but i really want some extra power.

I wont go any further than like 300-310 rwhp with stock turbos. For more i'm going single.
There is always so much i wanna do to the car and i always think about something for a long time before i do anything.

I guess i should make a list on what i want and a budget to see if i can afford it later on.

Oh and if i understood that other thread right does the pettit mean that u can't tune it?

Correct.

ok thanks.

The advantage of going with the Pettit now is that you can sell it later for not much less than you paid for it.

That said, I still think a stand-alone ecu is better IF you can tune it or get it tuned.

TobiasRX - You should talk with Gzon. He has the Pettit ECU and he's in Sweden. I was going to go with M2 a few years ago but, waited and got the PFC. I am very happy with it. If you decide to go Single down the road? Your all set!!
It's a pain in the *** we have to pay so much for parts shipped to Europe (import tax). Most of the time my sister can send it over as a gift and I get lucky.

Rynberg - looks like I'm following you again...............haha

yea heh i was in the same sit as u i got the $$$ for the pettit but i think im gonna save up for the PFC. one, the pettit is a stock ecu (if u get it new they take urs and mod it) and once u got it thats it u cant tune at all but there are much more possibilities with the apex i. wither way i gotta wait a little longer to get it but all good things come with time

I think MazdaMike is on the money .. save a bit more and get the PFC, then when you're ready for the next upgrade get the DataLogit, plug in your laptop and then you can tune 'til your hearts content.
