1fast1 Supersonic December 18, 2012 Share December 18, 2012 (edited) i rather change ecu. was recommended unichip I have a Hydra Nemesis EMS (can't remember version) that I've got in storage. Worked well on my 05 WRX (cockeye GDA), tuned by Mok. If you're keen, I can dig it up. If it works (you can take and test), I can let it go cheap. If you try no workey, just return me the unit at my home, no harm no foul. PM me if keen. Edited December 18, 2012 by Turboflat4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM me if keen. is yours a standalone or piggy? but for these kind of "rare" brands, i need a tuner. unlike unichip or ecutek where almost all tuners can do.

Hydra is a full replacement ECU (standalone). Your mileage may vary, but based on my own experience, I would strongly advise against Unichip. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is this fellow? If u want someone reliable, pm me. When I had my GC8 JDM 280Ps, I used Apexi Power FC. Full replacement. There are many options for GC8. Possum link was one but the Possum is dead so no support. Autronic, Motec etc. Your power seems to be on the low side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
