    adaptronic...hah.

    heard some not so good things about the early wolf ecu's, not sure if they're better now.

    microtech's are basic, i had one for my 3sgte powered st162. worked alright.

    but for price the adaptronic seem's to be the pick of the cheap one's

    Dont go with a Microtech. They are ok for cheap racing, but not good for street.

    The Wolf V4X's look ok, the V500 if you can afford it.

    Maybe consider a Haltech.

    Pretty cheap and great support. I have an older one (e6x) on my 3s-gte, goes pretty good.

    Vipec have a plug-in board for the ST185, I find them very easy to tune and well priced.

    I have been very happy with my wolf v500. Pulg in for 3sGTE works really well, but for a 4th gen you might need to change a few pins.
