firstly im biased so this response is one sided

Quote:

microtech is also one of the only computers on the market that will interface will all the factory sensors - making it a "plug and play" system.

uhmm one of the only... dont think so.. there are plenty

the wold3d V4 plus will not only see and run factory sensors it is fully programable to any sensor you want to use. As long as you know the upper and lower voltages its easy to calibrate any sensor to be read by Wolf.

I looked around for some time when i selected my ECU and value for money i couldnt go past the wolfs miriad of features. At around $1200 ( i think thats the retail price?) its hard to beat for what it gives you with wideband O2 , 16mhz/16bit processor, Solenoid and stepper control, 5 aux outputs and 4 aux inputs, 125rpm bands, 6 ignition outputs , trigger voltage control etc etc etc etc

A 20V would be an easy task for the wolf .. i say go for it.. I admit they are a little niggly to set up initally but get it tuned by someone who knows what they are doing and they are awesome... well at least im happy with mine LOL

the one thing that really sold me was rpm designated map switching between TPS and MAF or MAP , great for tuning throttle bodies!, my engine has a pretty smooth idle for the cams im using.
admitedly.. if i had the money i would have got the Motec .. but i cant afford the constant cost of tuning with them let alone the unit prices.

Oh just to add, customer support for the wolf IMHO cant be beat, theres tons of online info ( try and find the same amount for microtech) and the guys at melbourne are really helpfull and prompt when you ask them questions, the beauty is you usually end up talking to one of the software designers so they know exactly what you are on about. The dealer i dealt with is very good for support too, ive also heard the other wolf dealer in sydney is excellent for tuning 4 cylinders ( talk to yellowrolla he has a good association with them on the north shore )

the best advice i can give when deciding which ecu, is to go with what feels good and sensible to you. Pretty much every specialist tuner will tell you X or Y is the best ECU. My personal belief is that each ECU is only as good as the person tuning it.. clearly somone who only does the occasional wolf is not going to be able to tune it as well as someone who does it every day. whatever you choose, my advice is take it to the best known tuner of that ecu in your area, the extra $$ are worth paying for the best tune.

EDIT: just to add, in two seperate runs it took less than 2 hours to tune my car on the dyno, thats from a scratch MAP. if you want to look how straight they got the torque curve have a look in the members section at my graph.
