To do it the RIGHT way go AEM but your looking at over 1k, which is why most go ROM tune. Either way yes you will see sufficient gains when you have the proper tune for your set up. Not sure if an s15 cost any more than an s13/4. That is probably the only unbiased post youll get on this topic lol
I agree about the AEM. if I was going crazy with this car like I have with my dsm's I would get the aem and just tune it myself. I have always tuned my own cars. But this car is just a nice everyday car with a little kick. So I figured just a good rom tune would suffice.
I will be getting another one to go a little crazy with and it will get a AEM.
I am not looking to make this a debate about standalone ecu vs rom tune. Just curious if others with experience with these feels a rom tune would be worth the $595 + $75 extra for a S15 when the car has such minimal mods.
