MAPECU3 is our 3rd generation piggy back ECU that not only allows you to tune fuel, ignition timing, etc., but it also adds performance and safety features to the OEM ECU that “chipping” or “reflashing” cannot add. For example, Flex Fuel, speed controlled launch control, nitrous activation, electronic boost control, lean boost retard, etc.

MAPEC are in Newmarket and really good guys.

so driving the AW to work all week to see how it goes

I looked at those units a couple years ago to control my SW20 gen 3 fuel. Very intelligent piggybacks and quite simple to use. Problem was that aftermarket ECU's have come down in price making these rather expansive for what they do.

They are quite good . And it depends what you pay for them as to whether they are. I am doing an "evaluation " on it for a job I am doing
