Can someone explain to me the operative and implicative differences of a "piggy back" vs. "ECU" tune. I don't full comprehend the difference.

Also I'm shopping around and here are the tunes I am aware of (please add to the list) and feel free to comment on the differences:

Piggyback
JB4
Racechip
Dinan

Tune
Evolve
Vivid racing
Noelle
HCP
Dme
Eurocharged


Any others ?
The Piggy back tricks the ECU into thinking it needs to adjust output parameters by sending the ECU a lower value. The tune changes the software file in the ECU itself and outputs with however you have the file setup. Both primarily adjust boost and wastegate control in order to increase HP and TQ.

Look at BPM. Mike is very good and you will find nothing but positive reviews for him here and on the F10 forum.
