Has anyone succeeded in driving a 2gr with a 3rd party ECU ? Is it worth the expense? Any proved power increase?

I'm running a Vipec and well worth it IMO. I've heard story of ebay and unhelpful toyota with the 2gr ECM plus it turning out to be an immobilizer unit :( Depending on where you are sourcing it and if you are doing the work yourself, prices I think are still going to be cheaper than an EMS (ebay $300 + est $500 for custom harness) unless you kept buying 2-3 unit from ebay etc. New I think are ~$900usd and this route could put you very close to an EMS. I'm sure most of us have to buy 02 sensor and such so a wideband isn't a breaking to make up one's mind. If you plan to stay stock, not worth it IMO. IF you are unsure and could afford it, than yes. Go stock ECM and sell it later wouldn't hurt either.Originally Posted by gavsdavs
