quick question, ecu?
i would like to get a new pettit m2, but would a used upgraded ecu, from a japanese car...work on a US car? im not sure of any differences other than the speed limiter and such, which is all disabled on the upgrade. the one im looking at is for a 93-95. and its by knightsports.
i just want to know if it would work, i already know an m2 would be better blah blah power fc and stuff. my reason is i dont have a ton of money which is making upgrading a little hard. this would save me money which is why im asking. thanks

I would honestly just wait it out and grab a Power FC. I busted my a$$ and spent money I really didn't have or should of had, but trust me the Power FC is SOOO great. 110% worth it !

PFC is 100% tunable and is tuned by tons of people in this country. I mean you can buy any ECU and it will work the same it's just a computer... but when you have to send it back to get it tuned.. it's kinda ehhh. I'd rather steve kan take a ride and tune my PFC at the same time

I haven't had to tune my PFC. Well, I did lower the boost setting a little. 12 PSI scares me with the "premium" fuel we get these days!
If you are racing, that's a different matter.
