So you put on an exhaust before the ECU, huh? How do you think the exhaust worked? I might consider it if it will help the turbo spool up quicker.

I've got the ipd ECU on now, and it made a little difference. Probably shaved 1/4 sec off 0-60 times. I was hoping for more of an impact. The biggest difference is that it seems to pull a bit more evenly ... once the turbo kicks in at 25 mph, it's a straight pull to 60 mph. Sounds a bit different, too ... more whining happening.

I did some other 0-60 runs with torque loading before starting (standing on the brake until 2000 rpm), and shifting manually ... I was able to get in a 8.25 sc 0-60 run. This seems more like it ... this much off a 6 sec time I can understand being due to altitude.

Still not thrilled about the $1,000 for the ECU, though.
What other mods have you done?
