Has anyone tried to put a stage 3 ECU on stock turbo car, or any other Turbo?
I have a stage 3 car now, but was thinking of upgrading to a AEM ECU later on, and if I could sell the ECU to someone else with a stock turbo, or any other turbo.
I know it would have to be reflashed, but would it be something people would want. I know the 6500RMP rev limit is good, any other benifits from that swap? What could I sell it for$$$?
It does not work well at all with a stock turbo,, with an aftermarket turbo it would be a neat setup.

i ran the stage3 ecu with the stock turbo for a couple days while i was installing stage3, and it buried the stock boost gauge almost instantly, but the car felt slower than shit... probably pulling all sorts of timing...
I really dont know what they go for ether. They are a more aggressive computer. I will do some checking around and see what I can come up with. It wont be up for sale for atleast 6 months though. Have to wait until I deploy again.
The highest I have ever seen one go for was $600,lowest $400.Im looking for one as well,I have an AEM EMS that im looking to get rid of in the near future.Maybe we can work something out?

I seen your posts on your 49lb turbo. Right now I have the stage 3 ECU with a DTEC it works pretty well. I am going to talk to Darrell about the AEM EMS and see what he thinks. I have a DCR Stage 3. As I type this, it is on the way to get retuned. I had to change some parts out, ( intercooler, exhaust, WG spring) I dynoed 387 on Pump, and 431 on Race. Waiting to see what it puts down today. But ya if things go as planned we can work something out.
