what are you trying to accomplish? depending on what your goal is, there's a few choices you have.

and yes, there are piggy backs made for our cars, because most of them are universal.

peanotation... i don't know what's my plan coz i really don't have any idea about piggy back ride. all i know is u attach it to ur ecu and reprogram it or something. and that's all i want to do for now coz i still have stock engine. i heard it will help to add some boost... i think. so, where can i buy it and how much?

thanks for the reply peanotation

my suggestion. if you don't know what a piggy back does, don't even bother with it right now. especially with a stock motor. yes. piggy backs are nice. helps add some control to your car. but in the wrong hands, a piggy back can be hazardous to your car. i've seen people fry their motors because the piggybacks were set wrong. do a lil research. see what piggy backs do first.

uh, ok. a "piggy back" is a computer component that you wire into your ECU to modify fuel maps, airflow, ignition timing, etc. if you still have a stock engine, you really have no use for one. you can squeeze maybe a couple ponies out by getting bigger injectors, aftermarket fuel pump, and some other goodies that would make your fuel maps a little more efficient. it's far from cost effective at your stage of the game. if you still want to get one, cheapest starts at about $220 on ebay.

do a search. everyone always said if you don't know what it is, you don't need one.

thanks for the info guys... just need some ponies in my engine... i know i know go 63T. but for now can't afford yet and don't know how much is the total for everything, parts and labor and how long it will take.

thanks anyway...
