    Those clips are a multitude of expletives that I surely cannot say on this forum.. I'm looking into ECU options and I know standalone is my way to go, but seriously funds are gonna be a suckerpunch to the gonads once I get the block rebuilt and pieced back together :\ I'm hoping for a sign that I could even temporarily get away with a chipped ECU but I'm not liking my chances.

    AHHHHH more money!

    giac/tt/autotech and all those chips from mjmautohaus aren't compatible with any of our ECU'S here.. mjm won't even reply to me when I say i'm from australia haha. not sure about obd2 though. however, vince from stealth racing in uk can make you one for about 300 that's right for your mods. UK vr6's have the same ecu's as us.

    Only problem with this, is when you do more changes to your engine, you have to factor this into the chip aswell (take chip out & send it back for alterations, more $$)

    Chipping a obd2 vr is a waste of time and money (compared to flashing), flashing it will give you, your best bang for buck !
    Though how much you get out of a flash, will depend on that persons capabilities.
