One day soon I'll be replacing the ECU in my car with a JWT ECU program. I sent them an e-mail asking the same question but didn't get a response (quess they're pretty busy). My question is do I have send in my stock ECU to get it reprogrammed or do they send me a seperate ECU and I send them my stock ECU for reprogramming. I know they're on some kind of exchance basis, I just don't know exactly how it works. I don't want any down time for my car considering it's my ONLY car. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Anyone that has a JWT ECU, or knows about what I'm talking about, your input is appriciated.

i think what happens is you overnight them you ECU and they reprogram it in a couple of days and then you can have the overnight it back
this is all what i think so dont kill me if im wrong

i know jim wolf is a really good name, but what's the diff bw his and jet.. jet is cheaper isn't it. i heard everytime u get a mod after u get ur jwt ecu u have to tell him and pay $100 so he can reprogram ur ecu if u want mximum power.. well i dunno. please inform me.. thanx

yeah i think everytime u redo something on your car then u have to send it back and it cost more money so do the ECU last

they can only program it for nitrous, bigger fuel injectors, and a turbo, and maybe a cam. the ECU tunes itself for the exhaust, intake and header.

It's always a good idea to have your ecu reprogrammed after EACH major power change, and it doesn't matter who did it, it needs to be redone. &nbsp;But rather than the like $600 you pay for the first programming, its only $100. &nbsp;I'm sure JET will rape you each and every time.
And then you have to think about quality. &nbsp;Jim Wolf has been working on the Nissan code, which is one of the harder ones, for decades now. &nbsp;I heard he used to do the programming for the factory. &nbsp;Then JET... I had a JET chip in my Corvette. &nbsp;$110. &nbsp;Sucked. &nbsp;Then got a Hypertech. &nbsp;$130. &nbsp;Better, but still no. &nbsp;Got a $400 custom chip. &nbsp;Whoo-Baby!
When it's time for my ecu to be programmed, its goin to Jim. &nbsp;If I have an SR20DET rather than my KA, it will be shipped to Mines.
