Wow with all the people getting flamed around here for asking questions that have been well covered, I suppose you have not looked around enough to know that people are going to tell you to "Search" before you ask.

Try a search for Technosquare, they do ECU reflashes. There are also piggyback ECUs as well. There is no "chip" type options and nothing is cheap.

You have a few options when it comes to changing the ECU for the 350z. The best option in my opinion would be the TurboXS UTEC. It's basically a Stand alone/piggy back ECU in one. Full plug and play. They first were released for the Subaru WRX and had great success. Coming from a WRX background myself, I can tell you that the UTEC will have just as much success for the 350z as it did with the Subaru.

Your other options you have is getting a reflashed ECU. Which requires you to send your ECU to company so the can load a map for you and have them send it back to you.

Both options are great. If you need anymore info, there are TONS of threads about ECU for the Z's. The search function is your best friend Or feel free to send me a message.

i like to take mine out and soak it in hot water. make sure you dont use cold water cause it will mess up the circuit boards inside it. add just a bit of Dawn, dish soap and its good for 19 horsepower and 17.5 foot pounds of torque. make sure its the green colored Dawn soap because any other color only adds less horsepower.....
