Salut , intrebare , cand faci tune la ecu il folosesti a mașini sau folosesti un standalone ?
Bafta incontinuare cu proiectul .
Hello, question, when do you tune to the ecu you use a car or use a standalone? Good luck with the project ( Google translator) :)))

Hello! I want to use standard ecu, but at the moment I have to rebuild the exhaust manifold. I hope to come back with some pictures these days
