Read a thread in PT the other day about the PGT/ZE's re-chipping their KL01's and KL07(?) ECU's by one of their BB members with an EPROM that emulates the functionality of a KL31.

i ran the k8 ecu for just over a day before switching to a kl36 ecu and felt no noticible difference, i prob should of run it for a full tank of gas to see if the millage was any different. but didnt feel any diff in power for that day.
