+1, make sure you open it up to check

The sticker was falling off of the last pettit ECU I owned.

I really hope you get the guy for this if he scamed you. On a side not, how do you plan on getting the vehicle to pass an emissions inspection if you modify the vehicle to take full advantage of that ecu? I know you cops are resourcefull as I was in law enforcement many years ago.

yes i did open the ecu and there was no chip mod. I paid 1000.00 for the ecu,pullies,intake,downpipe,and straight pipe. And on emissions..i will just revert back to stock when the time comes.I just bought the car for a hobby and always wanted an fd to work on. And just an update ..he has not called so me and a fellow officer have contacted salinas p.d. for jurisdiction purposes. I am still looking for an ecu if anyone on this board is in the bay area and has one for sale. It is kinda my fault for not doing the proper research on the ecu but i guess live and learn. I am new to the rotory scence. Dont ...i repeat dont buy from craigslist unless you know the individual has good intentions.

Haltech or Power FC all the way --- if you are getting the car as a hobby, you will get a lot more bank for your buck from one of the 2
