Jzwtuning.com has t7 ecu tunes for $300.(+30 horses or so) However, make sure first that your car is currently working at maximum potential. Check for boost leaks, vacuum leaks, evap system leaks (bolt mod), and a faulty recirculate valve (do you hear hooting?). All of these can rob you of horsepower.

For reference, in my stock 01 Aero my tcs kicks in every time I punch the throttle coming out of a sharp curve. Without tcs, I would be burning rubber.

+1 - then upgrade your brakes ;)

The first $400 I would spend to upgrade an eleven year old car would be concentrated on brakes, suspension, and tires - and $400 probably won't be enough unless the car was very well maintained by the previous owner.

Just my opinion.

Well just a question. For cheap couldn't he get a t7 ecu from a 02 to 05 for the better tuning?
Nope the hardware is different.........

Stability control is the big one, ecu's with and without are non-interchangable
