Tuning AVO piggyback ecu's

i would have thought that the AVO website would provide a list of reps in your state . or you could just phone them and ask.

anyway, i think the subcom is the one that just controls a 5th injector, plumbed into the intake pipe just before the throttle body?? if so, then it will not be able to control your new injectors.

so, does your car have this 5th injector?? if so, i think you have choice to make:

stick with the subcom/ 5th injector, or use your new injectors and replace the subcom / 5th injector with another piggyback / standalone ecu.

have i got this right guys?? again, i suggest you just phone avo or their perth rep and ask them directly.

Not an expert by any means but it was my understanding that the intercepter could also run bigger injectors as well. Pretty sure that the stage 2 kit is bigger injectors and stage 3 is the standalone link computer. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong

Bluey- just get on the blower and talk the AVO guys- surely they will be able to help you out. Don't fax or e mail- best talk first- reputable businesses want goodwill which leads to follow on business.

Which tuner are you using?

Sorry, having a mental blank is this Leif's old car?
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Is it the Perfect Power unit that AVO sells with their kits?

I have one aswell, though it hasnt been installed yet but I can't see how to connect it to a computer, it doesnt have a cord for that?
