i found this ecu that can just replace the stock one. I have no one around that has any knowledge of ecu's. tell me what u think.

AEM Scion TC Engine Management Stand Alone

thats a stand alone .. it replaces ur stock ECU
i bought one (WOLF) .. waitin to install it .. hasn't arrived yet
its REALLY good wen runnin boost
it eliminates all the restictions that the stock ECU causes
it's for better ignition timing fueling and maping to tune for higher boost or even race gace C10 or higher
u can use it with a N/A set-up for fuel and ignition
AEM is one of the BEST .. just MAD expensive

whoa was that the price at the bottom? +2 grand? mad expensive indeed!!!

so for n/a what's better? piggy back or standalone?

which is better for boost?

[Graphite]

I think piggybacks are used mostly to cut costs with turbo kits & are a cheaper alternative to stand alones. They have limited number of uses... mostly to change ignition and fuel curves.

Stand alones are top-o-the-line systems and cost that much because they do so many things, as well as replace the stock ecu.

I'm pretty sure these are the reasons for each. I don't dabble very much in these sorts of things so if anyone can verify or correct me it'd be greatly appreciated.

stand alone is better for boost .. it eliminates all ristrictions .. you can tune ur car to its limits
