Help with Ecutek problem
I just recently bought an ecutek ecu that was supposedly reflashed for an up pipe, turbo back, and drop in filter. i currently only have the turbo back and drop in filter and have an up pipe but have not installed it yet. i went down to the track last night to see what it could do and ran worse times than i did with just a turbo back. also the ecu i bought came from an 02 and i have an 03. i do not know if the year matters but i am trying to figure out why the car lost power. with just the turbo back i ran a 13.9, and with the tb and ecu i ran 14.3-14.6. i might be wrong but shouldnt i at least be able to run like 13.5-13.6 without the up pipe. someone please try and help me figure this out. regardless i think i am just going to give it back to him and get my money back, cause he agreed to do that. what should i do?

after looking at my 60 ft. times i also realized that even if i pulled the same 1.9 60 ft. time that i did when i ran the 13.9, that i would have ran the same 13.9 last night with the new ecu. which means there were no power gains whatsoever.

lol U need to install the upipe before u put in the flash in, right now all u have is tb and drop in and its not tuned for that and no your not going to be able to run 13.6-8 with out an upipe i have never seen it done and i dont think it will happen. Just install the upipe and ull be happy.

alright so if i install the up pipe should it run decent at least until i can save up enough money to have it retuned. what times are people usually running with the up, tbe, and ecutek?
