K8 ecu tuning
So thruout my reading on here it seems like everyone that boosts uses ms(megasquirt). Im looking to boost like 6psi with a smaller tubo was wondering what other options to tuning these cars there is other then a standalone.

A piggy back.
Its inferior, but works. Not quite as safe either, because you can't actually modify the ignition or fuel maps directly.

Re: K8 ecu tuning
I know a couple of people on here using
http://www.aemelectronics.com/engine-ma ... r-f-ic-12/
myself included very soon going to be installing this, you can modify fuel & igntion and there is a company called boomslang who can make plug 'n play harnesses for it for our cars.
Its always best to find a good mapper first though and see what they recommend or are happiest with using.
