Just a clarification.

ECU tuning is the last thing you do AFTER the bolt ons. For MTs, ECU tuning affects fuel mapping and timing (shift points for AT). If a tuned ECU is the only thing you do, you are wasting your money.

If you upgrade intake, manifold, header back exhaust, port, polish, bore, compression and injectors, an upgraded ECU will make everything work together.
