Autronic standalone ECU

Has anyone had any experience with one of these?

Yes. They're one of the better ECUs on the market. What do you want to know about the SM4?

there is a gentleman (username ABIEX) who is not at all pleased with his autronic. Search for posts in the 20B forum by him for one subjective review.

I have a SM4 on my 13-B FD. Honestly to me it was over kill since I'm not going for a full out drag car. I can't make comparisons to the other systems (haven't used them.) If you're going for max HP it would probibly be excellent for that.

I'd say it's actually the opposite. If all you care about is max HP, then a MicroTech sounds like a good idea. I'm partial to area under the torque curve, and drivability.

Some of the WRX's that we(me and my brother) used to do rallys with had them, I was just wondering if anyone had used them had any input on them or something like that.

If you dont mind me asking... how much did you pay for yours? I have seen them for about $2k USD.
