Hi all

Have any of you fitted either of these, instead of Power Commander or using TuneECU and a map?

Any thoughts, advice, experience gratefully received!

Thanks

Tuneecu is straight in to the ecu, does fuel, ignition and all the rest including diagnostics! Don't really know why anyone wants to use anything else!?
The only exception is a PCV as it allows autotune, if you need that, or to make it easier if the dyno guy only wants to work with dynojet as it saves time.

And oh I forget, tuneecu is free!

Boosterplug may as well be a scam. Tricking the bike into running richer across the board (by altering the air temp signal) will just use more fuel and may well lose power.

Rapid Bike seems to be similar, but based on changing lambda sensor values rather than temp sensor.

Go find a decent dyno. Any decent tuner will not offer products like this.

Harlequin, what mods do you have? Only asking as I've noticed your bike is an 05, mines an 06, so I might have a TuneEcu map that might work in the mean time
