I've never heard of someone having an extra ECU for tunes and it actually seems like a great idea. This seems like the best move. Not sure what an ECU costs but I know it's less than an engine
I have been tuning 911 Turbos since 2001, always had the original ECU copied to spare, the tune the spare. I have a 22 on order and plan on doing the same.
Why doesn't everyone do this? The other guy said it won't stop the logging in other components though like the transmission. Is that accurate?
