ok. so i found a pretty good deal where i can get a whole ecu that is already flashed with the APR 91 octane program. My question is, is the 91 octane program a lot different then the 93 octane program? Should i just wait and get the 93 octane program done to my current ecu. Money is kinda tight and i will be able to get the ecu with the 91 flashed on it for around the same price as a regular chip. Am i relal y gonna be able to notice the 6hp difference between the 91 and 93 octane programs? Yes i did search and i couldnt find info on the 91 octane program. Thanks a lot

6hp wont feel like much if any.



BTW how much more is 93 than 91 where you live?

 

just go with the 91

 

i highly suggest going withthe 91. later, you can get a 93 switch put in. if you go with 93, then you will allways have to full up with 93 octain and that A costs a lot and B i cant find it anywhere near my house. u will only get like 8 hp off it too. so get a switch later so when u find it, u can sue it, or when u go to the track

 

there is like an 8 to 10 cent difference. super ranges from 2.33 - 2.54 around these parts of the jerz

 

oh, and the ecu isnt new, its used but it still works, how do i know if it would work with my car or not. Its from a 2001 1.8t 5spd which is exactly what i have. Do i need to doublecheck anything else to make sure that it will work?

 

well do they sell 91 or 93 by your house. you cant get the 93 if all you have is 91. i have 2 programs for my car. 93 when im in texas becuase thats all they have here and 91 for when i head back up to denver

 

nobody knows if there is anything else i need to check to make sure the ecu will work?

 

as long as the trannies are the same im pretty sure it will work. look at the ECU # of both chips. if they are the same, you are good to go

 

last i herd is that CH and M boxes from 01 are interchangable , but double check.

best thing to do is go with the box you have.
