The 8 ecu swap opens up a lot of possibilities for these cars.

For those that want to go an easier route dsm/ecm link is now available for the 1-3.

no need to do that, we can tune those on the stock ecu too and get much more precise

Much more precise than ECM Link using the stock ECU? The Ostrich method is the only other way I know and that is not more precise than ECM Link. What are you using?

You are confusing me. When I posted that the 8 ecu swap opened up a lot of possibilities for these cars Chris said you can tune the stock ECU and be more precise?? Was he talking about tuning the 8 ECU or the 1-3 ECU?

sorry for the dumb question, but since the evolution III and the DSM's share the same engine/tranny would the evolution VIII ECU swap into a DSM?
