Evening folks,
Am in process of gathering up parts for a turbo build on my latest 5 and have just been offered the above ecu from a guy i know.

now im not currently ready to do the build and also was hoping to do it in such an order as i can keep driving the car for as long as possible. anyways, my question is..... if i buy this unit and fit it while the motor is still running NA, will there be any benefit of using it?

It has the map sensor with it also so can do a MAF delete so thats something i guess. what i mean is, will my normal operation and running be any better/worse?

Be good to hear from anyone who has experience in this area

thanks for looking

 

This was a bad piggyback +10 years ago, and it hasn't gotten better with age. I don't think anyone on the site will have anything remotely positive to say about it. You really should avoid this at all costs and keep an eye out for a megasquirt.

 

Yep

 

fair one, thanks chaps
