      How to make the move to an aftermarket ECU

      So when ECU shopping, here are a few questions to consider about your application:

      Can you use any of your existing sensors and wiring harness? Many companies offer plug-and-play options that leverage existing computer-controlled infrastructure and simply replace your computer with a more programmable one. Or will you need to run a dedicated harness and account for specific sensors that the computer needs to monitor?

      Sounds like you’re in luck.
