    Standalone for what car? Universal, or car specific, like Hondata? Usually, a standalone will cost about 50,000 to 80,000 pesos, depending on the type... and that doesn't include the cost of installation (budget another 5k, just in case) or tuning (5k, 10k, 20k... depends on how many hours and how complicated). Sabi ni Auto_Xer (he's not here often, you can find him at Kotse.com sometimes), last installation nila nito, it took about 8-10 hours for the tuning alone. At 5k per hour, that's a lot of moolah.

    I don't know any direct sellers, but most good speedshops can import and install it for you.

    Unless you're running 13:1 compression on a car with direct ignition, and are running sick mods like super-lumpy cams and individual throttle bodies, a piggyback will give you nearly the same amount of power, for a much lower price.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    Don't know. You can try at Emperor or Autoplus and ask if they have it. Like I've said, most tuners will be able to import it for you.

    But I'm telling you... unless you're running a racing engine, it's not worth they extra 50,000 or more you're going to spend over an E-Manage or Unichip. Go get a G-Reddy E-manage or a Dastek Unichip (30k, including tuning, at http://www.speedlab.com.ph ) instead. I got a good 5-15 hp throughout the rev range with the Unichip on my car.

    Most guys I know are running E-Manage or Unichip on their turbo set-ups. No problem at all. Very few people are running standalone... mostly those doing extreme engine builds on dragsters or racing cars... where they need that extra little "edge" over their competitors.

    Spend your money first on a good set-up, intake-headers-exhaust-cams, then add a piggyback onto it. It will be nearly equal in cost to the standalone by itself, and it'll make more power.

    dude try upgrading first your engine or you might end up blowing it...

    ECU programming is tricky you must have skills for that...

    pass the stage 1&2 first before tricking you ECU

    there are times that not only the engine will be fried but you wiring harness as well
