What do YOU think about it?

Price is nice, and it looks like it does alot more than a standard piggy back... Im sure someone will buy one asap and critique it...

Actually reading that again, I may sell my AEM ECU and go with this... Holy shit...

Interesting... seems to have the ability to directly drive the injectors, if I'm skim-reading this correctly.

Might have to play with one when I turbo the wife's Miata :)

It seems to do everything I need it to do... The AEM EMS does everything I need it to do, plus a shit load more that I'll never do... From what I gather, its like it does more than what a piggy back would do, like, it literally takes over where the stock ecu falls off... So instead of just tricking the stock ecu, it lets the ecu do its thing, and then takes over where the ecu cant...

They need to make it P&P for us...

It was important to me that there's a PnP harness.

A friend of ours here mentioned taking apart a junked ECU, and making a PnP harness pin-out.

Just incase something pukes, you can swap in an AFM and ecu and drive the car... granted you're not running 1200cc injectors or anything.

Chunks, there's too much technology now to be locked into an air/fuel controller... I actually made a little post in that AEM thread... :D

You'd use a wide band to monitor real time A/Fs correct? Im sure it being an AEM, if anything, it should be compadible with the UEGO...
