Gidday all

Interesting thread! To start I have a microtech installed on my 1ggteu which has intake and fuel systems significantly modified. I specified all of the things that I was using - such as blanked off 1ggte distributer, eb falcon throttle body, idle control and TPS, el falcon coil pack, specific sepcification of air and water temp, different injectors, etc. I then sent the ecu to microtech who set up the computer to meet my requirements including modifying one of the injector drivers to run the idle control - really necessry if you are running big injectors. $250 and some weeks later I had my computer back, installed and tuned by someone that knew what they were doing (Jake Edwards in the ACT). My car runs like a factory installation, making some 200rwkw at 12-13 psi.

Phew! What is the point that I am making? If you want to save money on an Autronic or Motech and the like do a little planning, and do it properly, and finally use someone to do the tuning that has some idea what they are doing. Why did I go microtech. Well one 'cos I had one hanging around the garage, but more importantly because I could have it tailored to meet MY specification. I also spoke to Jake to make sure that the ecu would do what I wanted and give opportunity to make even more power in the future.

Yes I did look at haltech as I would have liked the extra inputs/outputs that were available (and now on the new microtech), but when I heard that my mate had been told that the fairly recent haltech that he had on his VL would no longer be software or hardware supported, this did put me off. From what I understand Microtech still provide 'hardware' support to all their old products. I am also sure that I could have got the same results as I did with the microtech with haltech, wolf, ems, etc with the same planning and expert tuning support. Please don't make personal preferences into a bagging of other offerings.

I could also have gone with autronic/motech but could not really justify the additional expense.
