Hey guys.. I have tried searching the forums on the diff between the pre 89 ecu and the 89 + ecu's Is it something that is worth getting an upgrade on an 87T?

thanx

i seriously doubt it. one major difference is the integrated HAC sensor in the 89+ ecu. I run MAFT, so thats one plus for the pre89 ecu, considering you must splice the harness for the HAC sensor. blah, now I'm rambling, but no, not worth it.

no, you can't just slap a turbo-a ecu in our cars. we operate off of a KV signal (karman vortex signal from the airflow meter) the turbo-a cars operate off of a MAP sensor. (manifold absolute pressure). our ECU would have no idea what to do with that signal...

more info at www.mkiiitech.com

the EMS is made by AEM. it's a standalone engine management system. it enables you to junk your stock ECU. VPC is a vein pressure converter, made by HKS. it allows you to remove your AFM, much like a map senosr.
