Re: ecu location????

yea in your owners manual. open the glove box, pop off those two clips on the sides so the box drops down, and there it is.

Re: ecu location????

For our car it doesnt do anything. it'll just modify the ECU's signal and pump more fuel into yur engine so you run rich and decrease your MPG.

Re: ecu location????

yeah i did some research and found out the same...it tells the engine that cold air is being put in correct?

stupid chips if u ask me, lol commen sense i guess, if i spend 500 on exhaust/headers/intake, get maybe 10-20hp? and i can just spend 10$ and get this? haha noooo

EDIT:10-20hp is pushing it, maybe 5-10 lol if that
