Hi all
Im new to this site and have had a look to try and find info on this question, but i couldn't find anything. My apologies if i missed previous threads.

So pretty much my question is, is the carberry rom better than the normal ecu system? The reason is i am currently tuned using the factory system, with some good results. Im curious to whether the carberry rom is a more aggresive system and will help with drivability etc vs normal rom.

Quick run down on the car so people know
- 01 JDM wrx sti
- 3" turbo back
- Fujitsubo headers EL
- 40mm Turbosnarth EWG plumbed
- 3-port mac valve
- GFB response bov, re-circulated
* car is open source tuned by gotssuby to 21.5 psi running factory vf30 turbo - car make 204kw ATW on 98 gas (dodgey dyno with no fan setup for top mount).

NOTE - if i go to carberry i dont wish to utilise antilag or launch control seeing as im running stock block and heads

- Im just chasing info on whether i would see better results with my setup using carberry or keep it as is.

Thanks

if by better you mean more complicated and capable of doing more things, then yes.

if you're still top mount, recirculating valve, and pre-turbo MAF, then stay on the stock rom if you'd like and save yourself the headache.

if you do switch over to the carberry rom, since you'll have to redo the MAF scale anyways if you stay in MAF only mode, a wideband is necessary. for speed density, dyno time on a load bearing dyno would be ideal for higher loads but you can still road tune of course.
