Piggyback ECUs resellable?

I'm patiently waiting for the powers that be to crack the ECU on the 45, but waiting this long is crazy.

I'm wondering, if I buy a piggyback, am I able to sell it to someone else after or do you guys think it's useless after? It sounds like it'd be like a header or a pulley.

Yes the Piggybacks can be sold to another person,,TightTT had a RENNtech that he was selling after it was installed on his car,,You might want to contact him for any questions..

Yes, you can absolutely sell it afterwards. Its not like there is a limit on how many cars it can be installed on or something like that. My Renntech module is up for sale as Im teetering back and forth on selling my 45 due to the addition of a 911 turbo in my stable. I don't NEED to sell the car...but it would be the smart thing to do. Devil vs angel. Hmmmm.

Those 911Ts are a monster.

Speaking of which, I wonder if our Stage1 would be popular among turbo CLA owners who want a quick install/removal type product with minimal risk of detection? If anyone has one and is close to our office I'd love to check it out to evaluate the potential.
