Default Re: I converted from A to M to run stage 3 software but not an off the shelf kit

What is actually required to change from A-box to M-box. Is it just a matter of changing the ECU and recoding (i thik the M-box uses the hitachi MAF so I think that is changed as well) or do you load M-box code in a A-box?

MTM's Stage IV (equiv to normal S3) runs great out of the box (A).

Default Check my sig for a link to kits

I have AMS stage 5 now. No problems. Good power. But I am open to converting to others. Some that have better power have been customised and have to run around on 100-104 octane. And some may also have "problems", which for fear of being flamed I will not go into here, except to say I get my info from owners and repair shops. I am keeping my mind open. Homebrew looks interesting.

Default not sure on hp/tq numbers... Very reliable. No tweaking, no issues, as smooth as stock. (more)..

It was running around 4.1 FATS out of the box, then I did a few boost tweaks and I'm running 3.5 - 3.7 now on 93 octane.

It's been perfect, just expensive.

I upgraded from Stage II -> III -> IV+, not sure of the cost. IIRC, around $12k w/o coolers
