Ima Pirate Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 I was wondering if anyone thought that a ECU from EST would be worth it for my 1996 960 sedan. Its 500 bucks and i just want to know if its worth every penny... id like to find any way to increase the performance for that oh so fun ride to school this year . It claims to increase the HP from 181 to 199 and the torque from 199 to 216. Any opinion is greatly appreciated.Aaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bump in power on the 850 turbo's are a bit more and might justify the cost.If you haven't already done so, use your $500 to add a performance exhaust and other tweaks.

Ima Pirate Posted September 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 since ipd and others dont sell sport exhausts for my car, would any shop custom make one for me? and anyone know a round about cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbor850 Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 probably getting a custom turbo back exhaust would yeild just as much power though I don't know how much that would costso if you can spend $1000, get the chip and exhaust, and youll gain prob. around 30 hp and 30 lbs. torque Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
