Default SpeedTuning USA vs. INMotion

So, you guys win. I am going to upgrade my ECU.

I heard speedtuning does the job for $325 but all I can find on their website is the actual chip. Do they accept your ECU and do it for you or is it $325 for the chip to install yourself.

I already know enough about INMotion but I am just asking for a review from you guys. I'm sure some of you have an INMotion and some have ST. What are some pros and cons of your chipped ECU?

Only have knowledge of inmotion. Car runs great with no hickups throughout the entire rpm range. Only problem is I will have to buy tires more often now..

Well I don't know if it's better. Before I bought my tune I looked around and used the search alot and it seems that the people that got inmotion are as happy as the people that got speedtuning. I have heard good things about both company. And at the same time you got some people that have not tried nither of those company but read that sombodys friend uncles naibord blew thier motor up with that tune.but like I said I am very happy with my tune and I am sure cj351stang is happy with his.

So no one on this forum has had an engine blow do to a chipped ECU? I figured of all vehicles, a volvo would be least sucseptable to a blow out.

The proper tune keeps it from blowing the motor.

MK3 you will notice a difference with the exhaust as well. I did the turbo spools faster.
