Aftermarket ECU's versus tunable chipping

[stephen low]

Guys

Still very much a novice in terms of knowledge on the ECU options but following some research I'd discovered the EECV ecu's are now quite well supported for modifications.

From an early thread I'd looked at Wolf ECU's but I'd change direction to Autronic if I have to go aftermarket.

However have had discussion around Moates Quarter Horse tunable chipping as an option.

What are the pros and cons of the Moates type option over an Autronic box for example?

Stephen , honestly it comes down to the ability of the tuner to get a result. The best ECU in the world will drive like a pig with a bad tune and cost you a fortune if the Tuner has no idea on that brand.
If your local dyno Guy is a Wolf expert then go Wolf. I looked at the V550 its a good ecu but will need additional modules wired in to fire the AU coils, easy job.
I am in a similar situation to you ,but I do all my own tuning and have access to a dyno so life is a little easier, I think the Motec M800 is the pick of the bunch but the M84 will do me.

If you use a piggy back chip you may have to use the airflow meter were the others you can remove it. Contact TI Performance as thats where i get my chips from in Vic and Jason does a good job and they can tune your car if you live that way.
