this product will be purchased by the 'weekend messers' of this i have no doubt, the sort of people who 'think' if they have a system that they can 'fiddle' with the maps in there ecu's then they can say ' i mapped it my self'
its not going to effect the tuners, as they will only have to fix other peoples fook ups, in fact i hope they charge/start charging even more money for technical advice on the phone etc.
its not going to radically change the world in cosworth terms, its not going to be found in topline competition, as it doesnt compete really, its just for the 'messers'.
i dont map my own car, not because i couldnt, but because there are people out there who know way more about the inards of ecu's and mapping than i ever really want to know, if i feel the urge for a change in spec the car gets remapped by a pro, not a messer, not me, i rely on my car to be reliable and to run faultless in every circumstance i find it in, it does that very well, thanks to my chosen hardware, my build quality and to MSD who implement the software and its changes, whay would i want to buy an older ecu, with some new bits on that i have had for years, to gain nothing but losing what £1000 ?
there is no gain in 99% of peoples use in all honousty, what has started off to be one guys hobby and thirst for wanting to be able to do this has been spread, may be someone will gain - you wil be that 1% .
