The LT8s is not a good standalone by today's standards. It's antiquated in every way. Frankly this has been true since it was produced.

That said, if the car is running well on the Microtech, then there's no reason to change it unless you need the ECU to so something the old Microtech can't.

It came in a parts car and my car is running the t2 ecu with fic piggy back, so was wondering about swapping it over and going full standalone to lose the maf and get more adjustability.

It's coming out of a t2 street port running 550/1000 inj and stock s5 turbo, so I will do s4 n/a keg hybrid turbo with those injectors and should run decent

It stumbles once it starts and goes flat , and then takes a bit to get it to do that, we arnt certain we have the timing right the pulley is 28 years old.. And all the marks are gone so we are gojng out on what we think are the marks

Any reason why the microtech would read the wrong rpm? it reads a ridiculous 3000 idle and will rev to 8000 with the just a slip of the throttle
