Hi folks just wondering, I currently have standard ecu but planning on getting fueling and air ratios set up by tuner without an ecu, if I got a ecu what benefits would I get that I wouldn't get with just fueling set up ect it wouldnt be a expensive one just a cheap piggy back

Thanks

Fuel pressure regulator only allows changes across the entire rev range.
Once you get your tuner to look at it they may advise uprated injectors depending on your duty cycle or they may use the FPR if its sufficent.(same with piggyback)
You also need a Fuel Cut Defenser to boost past stock fuel cut (between .7 and .9 depending on a number of factors,usally .8)
FPR - 100 max
FCD - 70 max

Emanage blue allows a more fine tune (and is recommended over an fpr+FCD) if you've the money and has the FCD built in plus other features
200 should see it shipped before mapping and fitting.

Also most tuners will prefer if you use a fields extension harness,€120 new iirc

Thats my understanding of it,im sure someone will come in and elaborate a bit better


So it really depends on how much you want to spend and what your spec is.
