Dave - I upgraded my '99 at 45k with the Abbott ECU software and am now at 96k. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. From what I've read, the Speedparts upgrades (plus those from Nordic and others) are similarly reliable and all add tremendous fun to the drive. It helps to have a dealer who is smart enough not to blame anything that goes wrong on the fact you upgrade. If there was a problem clearly related to the increased torque/hp, I took the choice to be responsible. With all the turbo problems noted on this board, I am still on my original unit with no smoke despite the upgrade.
Although one of the other posts cautioned about purchasing an upgraded car, I know my car and many other upgraded ones get more attention and care than the average commuter car. I wouldn't expect to be offerred a higher trade value, but a private sale to someone interested in performance will make it a good deal some day for him and me.
Cheers
