Question on ECU?

[CARVERitUP]

Sorry if this has been covered, I rather hastily searched and didn't find anything, but I was wondering what exactly is required to install an ECU? Specifically, is it a job that is an easy DIY, or is it something you recommend or require professional installation? And if so, how much does that run you?

EDIT: If this HAS in fact been covered, please just link me to the thread if you would be so kind. Thank you!

What kind of ECU?

Stock replacement - unplug and plug in

Standalone - have a professional do it.

Here's a link to the actual chip

And before everybody says that since it's $70, I have a friend on DA who has dyno charts proving their claims of HP, and Torque increase on his car

So I'm actually looking into it if it really is that legitimate. So I hope that link helps you because I don't know personally if this type of chip is a stock replacement or a standalone lol

thats not an ecu its a chip for the ecu.
u would have to go inside the ecu and hace somebody proffesional solder in that chip, where ever it goes
can you post if this works. sounds like to big of # to be achieved with a chip

Okay. How easy do you think that is? I have a friend that works on cars...or should I really go pay more money to have this put on?

And here's the forum:

The guy who posted the second reply said "My chip didn't add any MPG but it did make the car faster by 54WHP, Dyno Proven!"

All I need to do is ask for the charts to make sure. This is just a thought in my mind, not a decision yet. I need visual proof

ALSO I edited my post, I was wrong. He didn't claim gas mileage increase, but yes he claimed HP increase, and in another thread I think he claimed the torque increased as well.

If it were that easy to gain 54 whp everyone on here would have that chip. Seeing as no one has it I would stay away.

Ha, just looked at the link. Type in "SLR chip reviews" into google. First one says "yes it's a scam. Surprise surprise.
