I've seen them for around $400.00 U.S. and I got my M2 stage 3 for $400.00 u.s a couple months back. But I believe a M2 stage 3 is only programmed for 13 psi and intercooler, intake, down pipe and cat-back exhaust, etc. So you are really "not supposed" to run with a mid-pipe or higher than 13 psi I don't think. Or so I've been told.

A pettit unlimited ecu you can run up to and probably over 15 psi with full mods. I've heard of people running upgraded injectors, and even single turbo kits off of a pettit unlimited ecu. A m2 stage 3 isn't as versitile as a pettit unlimited. There is one Pettit unlimited in the parts for sale on here but the member wants $525.00 for it. I've never seen a pettit unlimited for lower than $450.00 u.s.

Then there are G-Force and RE-Amemiya ecu's. And even Rick Stile's and rx7.com ecu's. These all go for around $400.00+ u.s. used. All of these I think are usually tuned for around 1 bar or 14.7 psi, but they might vary.

I believe there is a rick stiles or a rx7.com reprogrammed ecu in the for sale section right now too.

SK, you're asking a primarily American forum for Canadian prices... Maybe you should figure out the conversion rate for ummm future reference.

No pettit and M2(the 2 major ecu reprogrammers) charge around $700.00 u.s. to reprogram. I know rx7.com does them and rick stiles supercars does too, but I don't know what they charge. I would imagine they would charge more than $261.00 if the others charge so much for a reprogram. I don't think $261.00 u.s. will get any reprogramming done over here.

Those PFC's seem to be good deals though.

Suprakiller: I think that canman's prices were in u.s. dollars. Correct me if I am wrong Jason.

yes, a tuned ecu can handle those mods but i don't think they purposely program the to ecu to spike... people usually try to avoid the spike.
