[s-cars] Current Confirmation list for ECU software GP and I.A. VS MTM

[Ulrich L. McKenzie]

Hello All,

There is no simple way to directly compare the IA, Hoppen, and any other
software without investing significant resources in a head to head dyno
comparison.  People being people, any dyno charts of unverified origin or
authenticity will likely be met with some degree of scepticism from some
members.

I have investigated the track record of the various tuning companies,
without I might add any first hand experience of their products and from my
perspective it would be tough to go wrong with either IA or MTM options.

Having some considerable experience in electronics my personal preference is
for an upgrade that includes the 3.0Bar sensor as the extra headroom makes
it more likely that the output will remain linear at the maximum boost
levels, even with nothing more than the ECU mods.

As I have no intention of modifying my car further (with the exception of
bigger brakes when the current set have done their days) I will be opting
for the MTM ecu UPGRADE.

This is not an attempt to sway other listers one way or the other, but
simply to air my logic.  I am guessing that any holes or dubious conclusions
will be trashed by those whose opinions differ.

Put my name on the MTM GP list, and let the debate continue.

         MTM vs Intended Acceleration

Ned has recently asked to throw his hat into the ring
with his stage 3 upgrade, here is his email:

Chris,

I’m just about done with the ’91 200 group purchase so
now I can turn my attention to the S4 owners. I’ll
throw the following into the ring: Intended
Acceleration Stage III – Group Purchase Price $455.00
plus shipping Only 10 units needed

Ned

I had previously forwarded this email to the list, I
do not know much about his "upgrade" yet, except that
it DOES NOT include the 3 bar transducer.  As of now
everyone that has confirmed has expressed an interest
in the MTM upgrade, I am not changing where we do the
G.P. I am however opening it up to discussion to the
list, does anyone prefer Ned's stage 3 upgrade over
MTM's stage 1+ (which I have been told is now called
the stage 1).

I have asked Ned to provide us with the lowdown on his
upgrade, and why he feels it is better than the MTM
upgrade. I will update the list on any information Ned
decides to give me. Please do not ask me any technical
questions about either the MTM upgrade or the I.A.
upgrade. Keep the discussion on the list, it will be
up to the members of the group purchased to decide if
they want to change from MTM to IA.

I will provide more information as I receive it, if
the list prefers MTM over IA let me know and we can
finalizae the group purchase as soon as 3 more people
get on board. Otherwise if other List members know
more about these the MTM vs I.A. debate, please chime
in.


Regards

Chris
