Which ecu is best in a third gen? Single Turbo setup

 

there are many options you can choose from. Perhaps Power FC being the most popular so far. Adaptronic is another popular choice but on the more expensive side.

 

the ecu ur tuner prefers

 

Having personal knowledge of ecu programing, powerfc is a fairly easy ecu to program. Alsoif you getthe comander with it you have a quick monitor station without the need to have a laptop connected alll the time

 

Honestly you should not own a PFC without a datalogit. This puts it past the price of an Adaptronic PNP.

The Adaptronic PNP makes tuning for a DIY guys by far one of the easiest to use.

 

Adaptronic PNP for the win

 

Adaptronic PNP. It's becoming the more popular choice. Unsure of which tuner you have, they may like a Haltech or AEM, etc

 

Haltech Elite or AEM Infinity in that order. Nothing else in the price range offers the features. For example, Haltech's long term trim feature is a true auto-tuning concept that actually works and is effective. Same with the knock control strategy. It offers filtering options only seen on higher end systems. It's a system that works in practice and not just a line on a spec sheet like some other systems in the price range. Without stepping up in the price range to something like the Motec M-series, which still isn't offering rotary support to the best of my knowledge, or something like a Syvecs, you won't find anything else offering the features and ease of setup and tuning offered by the Haltech Elite.

As far as finding a tuner, the support for Haltech in Florida is very good. If PnP is your thing, Haltech does that as well, though in most cases going standalone is a great excuse to pull out what is commonly suspect OE wiring and update everything.

 

Good stuff!
