The Precision CEA 6262 is the baddest street turbo on the planet...perio d. On 20 PSI with my old SMC alky kit it would run 11.5 at 120 on a 1.7x launch all day...with zero tuning. Throw boost and a tune at it...and all hell breaks loose. :rock:

What would some symptoms be that would lead to the replacement of the ECM?  I went to throw in the ecm from the ghost so we could get some data from a friends maroon limited.  I had never seen a TB reman ecm but his had one.  Car has 62k miles and runs like shit.  Already found some vacuum leaks and the MAF is bad.  Heck, one plug wire wasn't even connected to the spark plug... Starting with the spring cleaning

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Once you let out the magic smoke, very few electrical devices work anymore.

I've been approached to drive someone's car at the track that doesn't belong to me.  I told the fella that I'd have to think about it before giving him an answer.  All I can think about is more seat time at the track but I would hate for something to happen in a vehicle that doesn't belong to me.
 
What are some thoughts from the peanut gallery?

If the car's set up properly and is in good condition with all the right safety stuff, then make sure the owner understands that anything can happen on a track. That means that if you wreck, or the engine/tranny blow up, it's not your fault. If he's not OK with this then don't do it. You might want him to sign some sort of agreement just in case something happens so he won't hold you liable.

I've flat out refused to drive a couple of other TR's at the track.

Drive it like you stole it!
If it breaks I don't see how it is your fault as he asked you to "wring it out".
I guess it is easier to say no.

Walk away.  No sense getting blamed for something that was not your fault but that is what always happens
