Piggy back computer may work of small boost and for short period of time.
A stand alone setup controls the fuel, timing and ignition beyond the stock computer can. It also does 100 more thins like; I will be able to select whatever boost I want on any gear and thins like that. Remember all piggy back computer are just that piggy back. A stand alone will decide the correct fuel mixture for whatever you decide to do. Not many people go with the stand alone simply because the price and they usually end up blowing the engine!! I decided to do it right even if it cost a bit more.

Actually I think a lot of peole don't go stand-alone because it's lonely!
Sorry.
People generally don't like to go stand-alone because they're expensive and all.. but more importantly, with a standalone you'd also lose just about every feature that the stock ECU has that doesn't relate to fuel and timing.

Chech out my turbo setup done by TBKperformance.net is the cleanest setups I have seen and it performs amazing. Right know I am @ 9 psi and I have 270 WHP, you can see it yourself on my cardomain page. I have tried 2 different setups, first I had no exhaust and had 8 psi and it gave 232 WHP, and now with 3inch exhaust and 550 RC injectors it has 270!!!!!!

Kungpaosamuraiii, I think I was misunderstood or I said it wrong. The standalone does not replace the sock ECU. Simply because the stock ECU still needs to run the fly by wire and all other stuff like you said.
Went people said piggy back, it really means that the fuel or other components are been share with the stock ECU.
Went people said stand alone it means that the fuel or other components are completely separate from the stock ECU.
The sock ECU is never taken off.
I do know some people using the Haltech on the tc and are only using it for the fuel only. A perfect example will be Olomoco, I had a chance to see his tc and talk to his mechanic, I believe they are using the Haltck for the fuel. Very Nice kit. Will recommend to anyone.
I hope this can clarify some what.
