    why not go MS instead of a patched in MAF upgrade? you will also gain a true throttle position sensor and acceleration enirchment which will improve response even more.

          On their site, the GenIII kit is only $300

          That's pretty good for the money.

          I could e-mail them, but do you happen to know if the kit is compatible with aftermarket chipped ECU's?
          If I'm reading it correctly, the kit comes with it's own software I think.

          If those numbers are true, I'm seriously considering it. It's worth it for the 20hp gain alone, even without the throttle response benefit.

            Just run MS, it would get rid of the restrict-o-meter and would allow many future mods. You can buy built MS's on this board for around $600
            Anything can be done

              Miller Gen III comes to $378.19 shipped to California UPS, I'll let everyone know how it goes, I may even retail for these guy's.

              I talked to them about it a little while back and the possibility of some other things (R&D) but I like the info I'm seeing on their new unit so I'm going to try it out and see.

                    I was just reading about someone with an ETA looking to do the same: http://www.dtmpower.net/forum/e30-3-...i-options.html

                      What's your current mod list look like?
                      Just wondering where you'll be coming from.

                            Are there any reasons why you'd have to use Miller's ECU? I'm sure if enough people buy this (seeing how it's so cheap), some people wouldn't mind making custom chips...
                            I don't see what's wrong with using aftermarket chips though, like Jim C or Mark D...
                            But I guess I shouldn't be speaking for them...

                                Yea, I'd like to know if I could save the $100 or so on their chip and keep my Dinan.

                                Just e-mailed them about it.
