Do you even know what the chip does and what ECU tuning does? Do you even know the difference between the two and what they are used for?

Your car NA or TC?
If NA don’t bother so much, is a waste of money.

Na car must piggyback to your stock ecu with your chip.

U do your homework first before go ws let them carrot u

If so easy to add hp, why manufacturer don’t do it themselves? Sure got some trade offs. CAI will suffer low end loss. Remove cat converter/mod exhaust , make car noisy AF.
Best to drive car stock. Just do astethics to give mental hp gain. You think your car fast, will unintentionally step harder, then tada car go faster liao.

What car do you drive ? NA don't bother. Minimal increase. TC - best value for money mod.

Don't bother with plug and play chips or those "reflash". Custom ecu tuning I haven't tried before so can't comment. Last time got a kimchi car tuner offer reflash using a standard map for 400-500 with money back guarantee. When I went back saying no difference he say I never step on accelerator hard enough need to rev to feel difference. Problem is who floors pedal whenever they drive? But the guy steady honoured his words and refunded me.

I did reflash ecu for 600+.
Maybe 2% gain ? No dyno no talk. Conclusion is not worth the money unless really feeling rich to burn money haha.

Actually, piggybacks are suited for cars that have no options to tune the ECU directly. As the ECUs cannot be tuned, piggybacks like Unichip/RS is used to override the ECU settings.

For reflash, they basically take some SAME standard mappings and load it into every same model, it would optimize some settings based on road conditions & car, but it's still far from being optimized. Since every car is built differently (even same model), reflash doesn't bring out the best, just some parts only. Eg: FD1 global map, vs FD1 racing map, vs FD1 Europe map etc etc.. it's still by a 'category'.

For ECU tuning, for cars which are able to be done so, is by extracting the existing ECU map, study it, and optimize the map before flashing it back. This is the optimized version, which best suits the car and the road driving conditions.

When you do all these, if you don't know what gains you are looking for, it's quite pointless to monkey see, monkey do. People often talk about CAI, decat, open pod etc... GOOD GOOD MUST DO VERY GOOD...

But mostly.. don't even know what gains they are talking about. Just blind following won't help.

If you don't know what you're doing, best is stay stock. I'm not a guru, but I've done a fair bit of mods myself, including ECU remap for my current Maz3. My last car Vios can only do piggyback, which I don't want to, but now NCP93 can do reflash liao.

Dyno is when you have done at least Stage1 (IMHO), the gains won't be fantastic like ECU remap, about 3-5%?

So different strokes for different people.

I asked Monster Tune n they said 10% gain. Tats a remap right?

Likely yes. Using a standard set of settings can't give that much... but 10% is rather high... after I did mine, I also forgot the figures, but I wasn't going for HP increase.

I was going for other factors like pick up, torque, AFR etc. Singapore HP high no use, can't run fast also.
