Standalone Engine Management Without Rewiring
Buick performance builds demand engine management that can support serious boost and power without turning the car into a wiring project.
AMP Engine Management offers vehicle-specific Buick Plug-and-Play (PNP) ECUs that replace the factory computer and connect directly to the original Buick ECU connector and factory wiring harness — no cutting, splicing, repinning, or adapter harnesses required.
From classic turbo V6 platforms to high-power race builds, AMP delivers true standalone control while keeping installations clean, OEM-style, and serviceable.
✅ True plug-and-play factory ECU replacement
✅ Uses the stock Buick harness and factory connectors
✅ Built for high-boost Buick performance and racing applications
✅ Supports drag racing and track use
✅ Made in the USA + real in-house tech support (20 years)
True Plug-and-Play Buick ECU Design (What Sets AMP Apart)
Many standalone ECUs advertise “plug-and-play” but still require wiring changes, patch harnesses, or sensor conversions. AMP Buick Plug-and-Play ECUs are engineered differently.
What “True Plug-and-Play” Means for Buick Platforms
Unplug the factory Buick ECU
Plug in the AMP ECU using the factory connector
Retain the original engine wiring harness
Retain factory sensors (where applicable)
No adapter harnesses
No repinning
No cutting or splicing
You get full standalone control without compromising the factory wiring layout.
Built for High-Boost Buick Performance Builds
Turbo Buick engines are known for making serious power — and the ECU has to keep up.
AMP Buick Plug-and-Play ECUs are designed to support real-world high-performance turbo builds, including:
Built engines
Upgraded turbochargers and intercooler systems
Fuel system and injector upgrades
High boost pressure applications
Race-oriented engine combinations
Custom Buick turbo projects
Whether the goal is consistent drag performance or full competition-level power, AMP provides the tuning control required for serious Buick builds.
Drag Racing Control Features for Buick Platforms
Turbo Buicks have a long history in drag racing, and AMP ECUs are designed with those demands in mind.
AMP Buick Plug-and-Play ECUs support advanced drag-racing control strategies including:
Launch control for consistent, repeatable starts
Two-step rev limiting for staging and boost building
Boost control for turbocharged applications
