Re: Aftermarket ecu opinions

Yeah STM were about 4-4.5K to supply ECU (Link Extreme), wire and tune. They were going to use the stock ECU to run the auto trans.
You could use a transmission ECU such as Supra Stick V4. Second hand they are reasonably priced. Anyone had experience with them?

Re: In tank fuel pump options for a soarer
