Pettit / M2 ECU question
I had this post over in the not-so-heavily-travelled Engine Management Forum. Any input is appreciated.
Here's what I have installed:
Pettit Intake
SS downpipe
high flow cat
Racing Beat dual tip
boost guage
turbo XS manual boost controller
Soon to be installed: RE Vmount with Koyo radiator
Stock engine, 55,000 miles, perfect 10-8-10 boost
all new vac. lines, plugs, wires
I know that I need an upgraded engine management system now considering my mods. Recently bought the RE Regular v-mount setup with a Koyo radiator. I don't plan on running the car with the IC kit until I have a good management system in place because of my other mods.
I really want to buy a used ECU from someone on the forum so I can just plug it in and get on my way.
I am under the impression that if I go the route of the Power FC (or similar) - I'll have to get it tuned by someone.
I basically drive the car for fun on the weekend and don't track it. So... can I get by safely with just the pre-programmed ECU like M2 or Pettit?
Thanks for any advice.
Dave

Thanks for the responses guys.
I didn't do the ECU yet because I never boost past 10. Obviously with the IC upgrade I would like to go a little further. Reading some threads let me know that I can get up to the 350 hp range with the stock fuel system - just need a different ECU to accomidate the A/F needs. Unlike some people, I am really happy with the 300 - 340 hp range. I'm trying to keep the car somewhat reliable
So - does anyone think it would be a bad idea to take the boost to 13 regularly if I have the new ECU?
