It can retard timing, cut the ignition, remove boost, or add fuel.

Your ecu comparison sheet says that the Basic MS3 does have traction control. Does it at least support a limited version of traction control that doesn't use two VSS and instead detects abnormal acceleration?

I believe it is an option, there is an extra circuit to be installed is my understanding....

Read the spreadsheet (MS Labs ECU Comparison Sheet), it doesn't say it is an option. But it clearly states that the RTC and knock are options.

Not that it matters since I already have mine.

Traction control is available on yours, as a pure software function (RPM-based). I generally recommend using a second speed sensor for traction control.

Thanks for the clarification Dimitris! Traction control as a pure software function of rpm is all I expected. It's certainly better than nothing.

Correct. Same basic architecture, footprint and enclosure. There's a DB37 on the back for additional IO, a serial port and the MAP sensor.

I think the new slimmer case with pnp plug right on the side of it is pretty winning.

Now to fit these into OEM cases for ultra-winning
