If Gary doesn't start getting orders for these things, he's going to *stop making them*. After the uphill battle we fought to have these things done, it would be a shame for it all to go away.
Currently 97 models are available. 97 ECUs *might* work in 98 cars, but that has not been confimed. 95s are not available and never will be, and 99's will be available "soon". Currently the ECUs are MTX only.
If you have a spare ECU (96, 98, 99 MTX or ATX) Please contact Howell Automotive and offer it as a core for testing.
c'mon, guys!

Will it work good with turbo and/or nitrous? I'm interested, but I'm planning to use nitrous and then go turbo.

He needs the cores to program. You can't just "build" them from scratch.
If you have any questions about it, please call Howell at 1-800-531-2184 ..
Someone there will be able to answer all of your questions. (or at least the ones i can't) Remember, this ECU put down 10fwHP with only 20-30 minutes total run time in the car (in THIRD gear - we should have dyno'd fourth). it barely had any time to learn its new life before we ran the crap out of it on the dyno.

They don't make a 95 Neon ECU either. We're an oddball year. While there is some similarity between the 96-99 years, the 95's are a whole different ball game.

Well there was a reason why the price wasn't posted right away. I called up Howell only to find out they wanted $390 + $150 core charge.....Needless to say, Howell's really trying to make a buck on this. I'm going to wait for somebody else to crack it and maybe the price will go down. There's no way I'm shelling out $400 for a 10 hp gain, that hasn't been truly tested yet. There still could be long term effects with this.
IMHO, save the money towards a turbo (you're a 1/4 of the way there)or add nitrous (atleast a 50hp gain)....even though it isn't constant.
