If i recally correctly his board was faulty to so we supplied a daugterboard as our chips need the Ford board normally and he didnt have one so this was his only solution available. More interestingly though, it was plugged into a
L8 on this vehicle and not a
P8 
You will find i charge £500+ to map, so he was NOT charged for a mapping session at all.
Has the ecu been changed then then?
ok cool thats good to know thanks, wasnt being cheeky, Ive got the bill here it was £400
I was going on what the seller had told me, it hasnt been changed since you sorted it out.
So its on L8 ecu with a plug in Board,
can you tell me stu, this is not mappable then ? how would you work round the problem of Possible different compression ratio with me fitting my new engine ?
This may of course all be a waste of time, as I have found a letter in my service history stating that the old engine was infact STANDARD compression, and the one im putting in is standard compression, but again who bloody knows, its like a guessing game this haha.
appreciate your advice.
P.s £500+ for mapping !!!
I was 200 quid for a full days mapping on my Evo running Autronics ?!

I cant understand why you mention the bill being £400?
You didnt mention that in the £391 price that the intake manifold was removed and a cometic fitted (not a nice job on an esccos) or that it had a full setup session and a new set of plugs, not to mention a pectel diagnostic datalogging session out on the road yet all these are itemised on your bill. Yes you guessed it, i have the bill here too..
Anyway. To answer your question.
1) All level 8s have a board fitted, as standard. The encryption method of YOUR board dictates what software you can use.
2) All marelli ecu can be mapped by us, and all of them can be mapped "
Live" by us, note the 2 are NOT even close to the same thing.
Aside from the fact Autronic was designed to be easy to map and can be done by anyone with a laptop, and the fact it can map its fuel itself, my prices are only expensive if you cant afford them Glen.
