OK I have buschur stages 1-4 on my 03 VIII and I a going to upgrade to a Green turbo. I don't want to spend the money on something like AEM EMS. I prety much have it down to 2 choices. Either ecu plus www.ecuplus or greddy e-manage ultimate. Just looking for opinions on which one you guys fee is a better systems. Thanks in advance and please no "the greddy is better because I hae never heard of ecu plus" type replies. Thanks.
Or you can find a tuner locallay (such as Lucas @ Carz, or JustDSM) and others. They usually charge $150 or so to tune your ride with ECU Flash and it'll run just like stock with no wiring to deal with or tricky programs to manipulate.
What it really comes down to is what you are trying to accomplish. Answer me this, what is it about these two systems that attracts you to them? Is it just price, or do they offer something more than what a flash can do.
I don't know all the features off the top of my head, but both are decent choices for entry level piggyback systems.
No reason to upgrade your ECU. Mitsubishi has spent millions to make it work. We are lucky emough to have software to change and controll the car. Stick with what you have and spend the money on some other parts and a killer tune. Any questions, let me know.
my car has a custom tune on it from dynoflash, what I am really looking to do it be able to run meth injection and a different map. The factory ecu has no provisions for a failsafe. If I had a a different engine managment I could have it set up so that I cold 1. have 2 maps and 2. Hve it setup so that if there was a fault with the meth it would switch back to the safer map.
I've yet to see a system that will do that without the driver actively switching the maps himself (such as the UTEC). The Cobb accessport might be a better option for you as it's pretty much the same as ECU flash however you can change maps at will just by hooking up to the OBDII port and punching a few buttons. For meth you'll have to rely on a good system to tell you when there is an issue and your own instinct to recognize it and not use it.
That won't do anything for his tune though...I'm getting the impression he wants to be able to swap back to a pump gas only tune if he has a meth problem. (LOL, meth problem)

UTEC will hold multiple maps but won't switch them automatically. I don't recall the e-manage being able to do that, but then again I haven't looked at one since it first came out in 2000(ish).

But if he only wants the 2nd map to run "safely" then wouldn't cutting boost work just as well till you got your addiction..... I mean problem taken care of.
The AEM EMS will switch with the help of the control unit that comes with the meth kit. I did not know if either of the 2 systems I mentioned would and I was looking for suggestions on soethink that would. Also I think that the new version of the HKS FCON V-PRO will as well.
