Quoting kron_jdd:
i looking for any info that can help me make this car run with a new engine. more importantly the fact that the car is currently not turboed and i will be changing it to one. then maybe when i have more time and money and a garage of my own will i buy a shell and part my car into it. i like my car and would keep it if i could but with the rust that it has front and rear rocker panelles, the eagle shell is not worth keeping long term. was still wondering about ecu choices. try and get a OEM turbo ecu or get a upgraded system all together, like i see around here. is turning a ecu system realy hard scale 1-10. what u all think?
currently, i would say you're not on par with the skill level required to do this work. no offense, im just basing that off what you've said and the questions you've asked.
That being said, search. Search the board a LOT. Lurk and read here, go over some of the build threads etc. After you've been here a few months and read new things on a daily basis, you will start to understand what needs to be done.
is tuning a stock ecu hard? depends on your level of skill. To a lot of people here, the stock ecu is a pretty simple computer. To others, it's like magic.
