Ive got both. (power FC Pro on the 205 and Emanage Ultimate on the JZX100)
Both the laptop programs are easy to use after familiarising yourself with it all. (truth be told most programs are similar) As has been said the PFC is getting old now, but is plug and play and in my opinons thats worth its weight in gold. As for it lacking in features, well the Pro has launch control as well as hard and soft limiters, thats about all you want really. Other ECU's (especially talking about wiring in ones here) use the extra outputs they have (and people rave on about) for things like thermo fans and idle valves which the PnP ones are programmed to do. Some plug in adapter looms are available for the EMU (like i have in the Chaser), not sure if you can get them for Celicas. Remember that a high end ecu isnt going to allow you to make any more power then a cheap one (arguably help driveability, but ive been in cars with power fc's and EMU's and they are as smooth as stock), they just come with some features that you may or may not use. Another important thing to remember is get something your chosen tuner is familiar with. Your better off with a cheaper ecu that your tuner knows inside and out and will get the best from, then buying something top end that he will be using for the first time. When chosing an ECU remember to include costs of installation if its not PnP and tuning together, expect around $300-$500 or more for someone to wire it in. Other (not mentioned) good brands of ECU are: Autronic Link Microtech (are known around the world as the ECU for rotaries but they work just fine on piston engines, and they have maps for the 3s) Wolf This post has been edited by Cuts_the_Pilot: Sep 5, 2011 - 6:21 PM -------------------- ST205 Group A Rallye GT-Four, #61 of 77............600hp GT3582r
