ecu-GN from TurboTweak

Stand-Alone Plug-in ECU for 1984-1987 turbo Buick
and 1989 Pontiac Turbo TA

  • Plugs into the factory harness
  • Gives you complete control of tuning
  • Based on the proven MS3Pro core and uses TunerStudio for tuning (license for TunerStudio MS Ultra included)
  • Built in 4 bar MAP sensor
  • Built in wideband O2 controller, comes with sensor and cable (bosch 4.9), starts wideband sensor heater only after engine start for improved life
  • Operates high or low impedance injectors
  • Use the stock ignition. Can use newer coilpacks or coil per plug with proper wiring.
  • On-board automatic datalogging
  • 2nd Built-in CPU with CAN communication and expanded Inputs/Outputs (10 analog inputs)
  • Flexfuel, Traction Control, Boost Control, Launch Control, Water/Meth Injection, antitheft, and much more!
  • Compatible with existing Scanmaster 2.2 or Scanmaster G gauge! (for SM 2.1, an upgrade chip can be supplied)

Frequently Asked Questions

It is a complete stand-alone aftermarket ECU that replaces your original ECU. It turns complete control of tuning over to you (or your tuner).  You should be proficient in tuning or have someone that can tune, to use this device.

It comes with everything you need and plugs into the original harness. For the 84/85 cars, you'll need to add an airtemp sensor.

No, absolutely not! Many people have gone really fast with the factory original ECU. The ecu-GN can make it much easier though, with all its built in features, and advanced datalogging. There are also many safety features to help save your engine in case of low fuel pressure, low oil pressure, over-boost, lean AFR, etc. (those sensors need to be connected)

The cost is $1899 (increasing to $2099 Feb 1st, 2024), and the ecu-GN is currently in production. This is a small market, so these are made in smaller batches. If we happen to be out of stock, the next batch is most likely close behind (about 6 weeks)
