I'd love to join the group buy but can't risk it on Wifey's grocery car.

Is it possible to get a second ECU, from a junkyard perhaps, and then keep one stock and get the other tuned? That would work great for me.

I'm not sure if the ECU is coded to the vehicle though.

Thanks for building this pack for the C240 guys !!
As an FYI, I have a upgraded supercharger pulley to give me more boost, a modified intake for more air flow, resonator deletion and a custom modified ECU tune from LET Motorsports but I passed CA smog no problem at all.

The readings were quite clean actually.

You also have a C32 so you have more power stock than our cars. We need upgrades like this in order to make our cars a little more powerful.

Well I know our cars are much different, but my point was that my car is still highly modified, especially engine work, yet even with these mods to make my car a little more powerful, it still runs clean.

You should not have any problems passing smog with this MOD.

As soon as I find a new ECU for a fair price, I'm in. This sounds exactly like what the Dr. ordered. I just can't be without my car for three days (daily commuter).

Yeah, probably should have looked at the dates! That's OK, I really want to find someone who can do an ECU tune in my area.

They already offer a tune!
I figure if I get some headers and modify the intake, a tune might be pretty substantial. The real question is who's down for a GB
