Re: Evo VIII Ecu

I haven't put it in yet. You can do just about eveything with a 1G ECU that you can with an Evo ECU (SD, boost control, NLTS, dual maps, etc), but the Evo datalogging and tuning software is nicer. And it's nicer to just do a reflash than deal with pulling the ecu out and changing the chip. Some of the ways that the 1G ECU handles things is a bit more stable(especially idle and part throttle drivability) and it's simplier as far as the amount of programming code, lack of OBD2, lack of sensors, etc. I am probably on my 4th 1G ECU or so on that car also, so it gets old spending money them when they fail or have intermittant problems.
