I only price them at $165 because I cant find them for cheaper and people still keep buying me out on a weekly basis

Chris, I might have a source of JDM ECUs lined up, probably get them for $20/per or less in quantity. I'd want 5-8 of them for personal bullshit, pass the rest along at whatever the cost is.

Re: prices on chipped ecu's and other questions
ya i think the junkyards around me are on to this ----, any turbo part, or p28, or anything that can be used to make performance are snatched up and/or over priced. funny how i seen the floor behind the counter at one yard by me it was cluttered with dirty intakes, strut bars, superchargers n ----.
