JET ecu's..  ~$300

JWT is definately better though.  you also have the ability to get your ECU reprogrammed later on after the first time for only $100 each additional time.. say your N/A now, and go turbo later..

since when? do you have some special deal with Jim Wolf or something? lol. lowest i've heard is $595...and you can get $100 off if you send an extra ECU in.

EDIT: &nbsp;you said JET. &nbsp;oops. &nbsp;sorry bro. &nbsp;but keep on sleeping with Jim Wolf...get us some free ECUs <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hehe.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hehe:'> &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

what all does the jet ecu offer?

in comparison to the jwt, and do you get to keep your factory ecu with either or is it a send in and they send it back?

i heard somewhere that a JET ECU is actually just badge engineering. you send them yours, they put a sticker on it, you put it back in your car, and magically $300 disappears from your wallet. d'oh.

lol I think you mis-understood. &nbsp;They cost $595 to get your ECU reprogrammed. &nbsp;Once you Own a JWT ECU, you can get it re-programmed again for $100 to get one of their other programs, like say you upgrade to larger injectors, and Cobra MAF...


Also Stil bil - &nbsp;for JWT ecu's You have to send it off, or pay a refundable Core charge of like $500. &nbsp;I don't know anythign about JET

what all does the JWT ecu offer??

reason im asking is because i am about to get 500 and some change and am looking to get the best performance upgrade..

i mean i am looking at
>2.5 exhaust (custom)
>ingen intake w/cai
>now just plugs(cause i read that aftermarket wires enhibit performance)
>and maybe a msd ignition

but if i can get better performance out of a reprogramed ecu than i may go that route....

someone &nbsp;please correct me if i am way out of sorts here &nbsp; <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/huh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':huh:'>

you should call them.. &nbsp;they can walk you through all of this.. &nbsp;

Basic JWT ecu:
removes speed limiter
changes rev-limiter to 7000rpm
changes fuel map to run better on premium fuel
removes tip-in retard to get better throttle response
