Default U8 to Z4 ECU upgrade...

Hi,

I'm gonna think about getting an Apexi power fc re-map soon, would i see an advantage of swapping my U8 ECU out of my93 WRX for a Z4 then getting it re-mapped...

Would i see a bigger improvement from starting with a better ECU...

Regards,

John.

I might be wrong but i think the Apexi power FC Is a seperate ECU in itself so you will be replacing the whole thing anyway

I think there is less people able to map the Apexi..

I'd either get a scoobyecu and get Pavlo to map it to the car and your requirements or a Link via Bob Rawle or Pat.

just my humble opinion..

PS: I have a Link..

As spoken by Bob Rawle

"A V3 Link is MY92-96, V4 is MY97-98 V5 is MY99-00 and 44S is MY01/02"



Been having fun playing with the map in mine..
