There are 2 coolant temp sensors, one for the dash and one for the ECU. I run my M42 on a speeduino as well but wired it into the stock ECU case. Sounds like the board selection is wrong in TunerStudio settings?

@@keenukoopman3073 m42 is semi forged internals and traditional lifters instead of roller hydraulic style, makes a bit more jam stock with boost but m44s can be made reliable with rods and a few other supporting mods from what I hear

What’s everything I need besides the plug and plug ecu, and how do you connect your ecu to your computer or other device ?
@@nightpyro7941 pretty much everything is linked in the description, the ecu came with a cable to plug it in
@@Jz_Janks So when buying it I don’t need the extra stuff just buy the “standalone ecu”, and it comes with a cable?
