Anyone have any experience or know of anyone using this engine management?

same as vipec.

its a decent ecu. we use it instead of vems if the project requires drive by wire. at least till vems comes out with their DBW option later this year.

I know a couple guys using it in the 944 world. They seem to have good things to say about it. There was a guy on MG that had a Vipec installed on his UrS, but that's the only Audi install I've seen.

It's a good ECU. I like the software interface.

Good documentation too.

[2.5TYPE44]

Yeah. I hear it is very stable and precise even with rpm's around 11,000

Yeah. I hear it is very stable and precise even with rpm's around 11,000

do you know if that 11,000 rpm car was using stock sensors?

[2.5TYPE44]

I'll have to ask. The comparisons were done on Subarus and Mazdas and only one Audi mentioned. The main things that were said was that holding steady timing/engine speed signal throughout the whole rpm range and delivering a clean/reliable spark control and fuel injectors. I'm not a tuner , don't try to pretend to be one, and don't know most of the "lingo" but I hear people reporting problems of timing issues, losing signal, ect. What was specifically said was having a timing light on the engine and watching it stay dead steady past 11,000 rpm or more when others have a hard time holding timing and can jump around even while holding a steady rpm. I know placements, location, brands, wrong installation, grounding issues , etc probably cause variables of problems but that was the general opinion on a large handful that was mentioned.
