are you staying na? are you boosting? what are you exactly looking for? if i were you i would use the search button and go research what you need. most likely if you just want something better than you current ecu, use vafc as a piggy back off of it. it will be more than enough if your looking for something to give you a little extra kick.

agreed ... there really are no ecu "mods" you can do ...

other than aem ems ... but that costs a ridiculous amount ...

for now just a little something extra than my stock ecu...but I do have plans to boost later on. and Yes I really dont want to spend a ridiculous amount of loot on since im still saving up for the boost. So VAFC then huh?

VFAC wont cost you nearley as much as the e-manage and it sworks great. I have one and u can notice a huge difference in the way it runs and it will save on gas.

Though it is cheaper than the E-Manage, the VAFC2 has no where near the functions that the E-Manage has. If you ARE going to be boosted later on, get the E-Manage now. You can't control ignition timing with the VAFC which is needed with a turbo setup.


Read this please...

For just basic mods (I/H/E) the VAFC is good, though the emanage would be better for this also. It allows for more fine tuning. No one has invested any time/money in tuning the emanage for n/a, so who knows what its capable of achieving on just motor. This is just some info to save yourself some money in the long run.
