if your talking about s70drives ecu chip, it cost $325 +shipping. They turn your turbo psi up to around 12-13. They also change some other setting aswell. Your cars hp will got from 190 to 230. Your torque will go from 270-350. Blue = stock Red= upgraded. Can be bought here

Thank you for posting that. The only real way to tell if you gained anything for the ECU upgrade and for that matter any performance parts is to dyno your car stock and get a/f ratios and also dyno after each mod. I didn't dyno before my ECU upgrade. My mistake. I gained loads of Torque but lossed loads of Hp because of the automatic transmission. You loose like 20%-25% due to drivetrain loss.

I lossed Hp. I'm not saying you will, but there is a chance that you will because of the drivetrain loss issue.

Not to mention I wasn't at STAGE ZERO at the time either. You will still get a great kick in the but though with an ECU upgrade that is for sure.

I also have a 98 GLT and was interested in putting a BOV on it. I have heard of the car's RPM's sometimes drop low enough to almost stall the car when the BOV goes off since it is not providing enough air into the throttle body. Is this true? Have you had any problems like this?

13 = size inducer/exducers "B,C,G,T etc... are the specific inducer/exdcer blades. Later is newer.

13G = 375CFM, inducer = 1.580" exducer = 2.000"
13T = 445CFM, inducer = 1.597" exducer = 2.203"

I am not aware of a 15t, there is a 16t, which would be better than a 15g
