I have a 2007 VP 8.1Gi in a Chaparral 256SSX.

I see Mercruiser tuners and tuning upgrade packages almost everywhere I look... but not a darn thing for Volvo Penta.
Can I swap in a Mercruiser ECM ? or is there a company that sells a system to hack/tune the ECM ? (HPTuners)?

What are my options here ?

This is the only thing I've ever found. I don't have any opinions, experience or knowledge of this system.

I understand this is referred to as the Volvo Penta EGC system... and nobody touches it.
How terribly frustrating. I should have bought a boat with Mercruiser power.
UGH.

I must admit, I thought these things had the same ecu as the mercruiser 8.1 mpi variant.
I don’t know much about such things other than perhaps the questionable worth of the benefit it may result in, without being complimented with a supercharger kit. Whipple can remap these ecus I’m sure.

Already spoke to whipple. They cant tune them either.
