stock ecu tuned is good but standalone is better the only disadvantage of a standalone is it isnt as adaptive as the stock ecu which means if you dont get a good tune from the start on a standalone you might have to retune the car more often other than that search is your friend

i am just sick of the stck ecu & went stand alone made more power too
when you have a bigger turbo set up its safer & you can controll everything the only disadvantade is start up take a little but if your not a baby & understand its no big deal.......pm me with any questions

stand alone. and alot of piggyback's have problems with the stock ecu. stock ecu sends the signals to the piggyback and they basically fight each other.

had the XEDE w/ meth injection but removed it because it wasn't reliable and just did my ECU
