Mp3 Ecu????

Does anyone know where i can get a mp3 ecu from and around how much it is going to run me? the other thing i want to ask is it even worth getting it or should i get some street legall headers instead? thanks

I will be making a thread shortly in the Vendor/Group buy section about a street-legal header if you're interested.

I have the mp3 ecu in my p5 and I notice no performance gains, but an increase of 3mpg over stock.

after i installed my mp3 ecu, the car feels like it doesn't want to just "cruise" anymore...it wants to haul ***...maybe it's just me.

mine feels identical to me...I am noticing a small increase in gas mileage which is strange because when I first put it in it seemed to drink the gas....I reset the ecu with a battery drain and now it seems to get god mileage....I wonder if it's because the ecu came from a very cold climate and I live in a hot climate??

well, it's like most mods...they react better with different ****...i probably get more performance out of the ecu due to my cams, pulley, etc. (more air in/out)...****, i dunno. make sense?
