Finally an affordable stand alone ECU for 2nd gen 3sgte owners!, Megasquirt Plug N Play! Options

[lagos]

After many years, Megasquirt has finally added official support for the 2nd gen 3sgte! This is pretty big news as it opens up the doors to ditching the afm, running bigger injectors and a better than stock tune in a product for only 800$.

Whats even better is that if you are on a budget and are handy with a soldering iron, you can build exactly the same thing for about $400!

And yes, before anyone asks, they are planning to add support for the 3rd gen 3sgte as well.

I'd like to see what kind of gains you could get with just the essential bolt ons and upping the boost with a new tune.

Probably quite a bit. The factory ecu (even the jdm one) is tuned pretty badly. I've driven my car with the ATS Rom Tune as well as the SARD Rom tune and it was a night and day difference in throttle response and overall fun of the car. MS was dynotuned pretty well and you could fine tune it even more and get similar or better results than the Rom tunes.

might be a dumb question but can i take this to a shop and have it tuned by pretty much anyone? or does the tuner have to know megasquirt? the reason i ask is because i have shop i go to but they specialize in aem and apexi stand alone. i know you guys make good stuff i owned vw's most of my life and you guys have been an awesome tuning option for those guys
