Just picked up some goodies from Elliot @ Turblown

My Turbo just got back from garret for balancing after getting the upgraded Billet wheel, and my new 440 series Adaptronics ECU

Nice, I am a server technician in I.T. but mainly a server hardware specialist. Big plans for my FC once it's back home from storage in my very own garage to work in! Hope to see this thing in person sometime.

Yea you can tell him that. If you are not crazy on wiring up your car I would go with the Adaptronics ECU that connects to your stock harness. Their customer support is top noch & the tuning technology is so much more advanced then the PFC.

I have wired up many haltechs in the past and built many cars just never really did much tuning lol. the PFC is rather limited and has really limited me on how much power i can make. I spoke with Elliot he is in the process of moving so cant really do much with tuning and what not, but i have some things to finish up before i will be ready for a tune anyway so it all works out. thanks for the reference to him he sounds like he really knows his stuff
