Need an ECU

i have no idea wat Ecu to get. I want the ecu to just keep the fuel mixture good.
Thats the main reason i need one cause i sense the sooner or later my fuel is gonna cut off. also considering money, which ecu do u guys recomend.

Whew, boy. Slow down, there, guy.

Have you spent many hours reading the newbie sticky/FAQ and following the links?

What mods do you have? What boost are you running?

i dont see why your fuel is going to magically cut off.

and its a bad idea to raise boost without a larger intercooler.

if ur not goin to get aynthing crazy the m2 ecu is a great ecu. if u want the best the PFC is the way to go but your go to be spending alot more on the ecu and tuning.

I strongly recommend on NOT running higher than 10 psi on a car that close to stock. It is way too hard on the turbos and you will have very high intake temps. You would get more power from getting bolt-on mods and keeping boost at 10 psi than doing what you are proposing.

Take care of reliability mods, get a cat-back exhaust, intake, and bigger intercooler -- then you are ready to run 12-13 psi -- which can be done with a standalone ecu (Apexi Power FC, Haltech, AEM, etc) or a chipped ecu (M2 or Pettit).

READ. There are hundreds of hours worth of reading on this site as well as at www.fd3s.net. Some of the material may be a little bit dated (3-mod rule, for example), but most is still very good info.
