Well, after a wait of only about one week I received the Stage 3 ECU that I ordered from Maptun Performance. I have had their Stage 1 ECU (rated at 265 hp and 275 foot pounds of torque) since early 2002; I subsequently installed a JT 3 inch downpipe and exhaust system, a low restriction catalytic converter, a K&N air filter, and modified air box (on my 1994 9000 Aero, manual trans), so for a fairly nominal price I wanted to upgrade to the Stage 3 ECU.
The Stage 3 unit is rated at 280 horsepower and 323 foot pounds of torque. The results of installing this unit were most impressive, with acceleration from 2,500 rpm to 4,500 rpm significantly improved, very rapid spool up of the turbo and seemingly endless power. Given that even the stock oem ECU is capable of leaving rubber in first gear, the improvement in acceleration with the Maptun ECUs is essentially from 20 mph and up. Overall, a really nice improvement, and at a fairly modest cost ($120, which included shipping charges from Sweden)given that I was upgrading from Maptun's Stage 1 ECU.
Now I have to figure how, when, where to sell the Stage 1 ECU, since I did not have to return it as a core unit.
