Default Is home brew that much work? What software to run with it? For fueling you just need injectors,

software, and maybe maf?

Default MAF, FPR, Injectors, TCD?, MBC? GIAC is the most common.

Default they wont sell the software seperately.

you're paying for R&D on the kit as well as profit margins

Default You have the Flashloader software...Depending on whom you purchased the software from,...

you might be able to swap your Stage 1 ECU and software with the vendor for another ECU with Stage 3- code.

If you have an extra ECU and would rather just buy the 3- program, I think it's going to run you around $850.

I remember someone posting that you can Lemmitweak the latest Flashloader software for Stage 3- or 3...can't remember who's done this, however. Either way, you'll definitely need all the stuff Reefer Bob has mentioned in order to take the next step.

I'm learning this stuff as I go along, so don't take my word for it. <tracking this thread>

Default It's not the flashloader. it's the wireless remote they had before that.
