i just installed the piggyback and got about 110 miles on it. and honestly, i dont notice very much of a difference. i'm hoping it needs more time to learn and will greatly increase but at the moment the benefits are minimal if anything at all. i'm runnin manual and am very disappionted so far. though theres lots of people in the forums that swear by em.
i guess i really cant say for sure yet.

The piggyback is basically the most effective mod for our cars besides going turbo. It is supposed to increase about 10 whp. I think a couple of the people on the forums have had it dynoed and there were noticable differences in the two. It is mainly noticble in higher rpms but it still does give you some low end.

might wanna check your wiring... It IS a noticeable difference. You should feel a small gain in the low end but don't expect it to feel like going from NA to Turbo..

i soldered all the wires. got over 300 miles on it now and am seeing the difference. pulls harder and is more responsive. guess it just takes awhile.

It does take a while for it to work properly, takes the ECU time to realize it is there, or something like that. As for MPG I got around 30 city and almost 40 on long trips. But then again I have all the other breathing mods available.
