Re: ecu upgrades

I had my ecu uprades 3 years ago for my 523. It was a very good experience as the HP increased, rev better with a Hurricane air filter + AC exhaust. this guy just re-map the existing ECU. No increase in consumption and had no problem all these years.

Re: ecu upgrades

The ECU upgrades will lead to much better pick up as the engine reve freely to your redline and the engine, exhaust sound much better. Is yours the 323? it is a good candidate for the upgrade. It will performance better than the 325.

A upgraded ECU with increased rev, more pick up and yet maintaining your gas comsumption? I am amazed if it doesnt affect your gas intake. Perhaps can enlighten?

Re: ecu upgrades

It is amazing isn't. The ECU upgrades only involve re-mapping, not parts changed or added. this is on condition that your driving style remain. Done by BDO Tuning.
