I'm not looking to spend the earth and may even buy something second hand
I was wondering what experiences people have had with different ecu's and software etc

features i would like are:

4 cylinder sequential injection

Map based load sites and large tables (200 sites upwards)

ability to calibrate sensors
(although i would consider a DTA P8 which hasn't got that)

wideband lambder input

Idle air control

boost control

inlet air temp correction

there seem to be a lot of manufactures but i was thinking of middle of the road price wise ecus (cant afford a motec lol) not sure if im keen on go tech,
and was considering an emerald k3 but heard mixed reviews about them?

Omex 710 seems a little over priced for its features and the 600 is only batch fired .

DTA pro series looks good S60 i think or a P8?

MBE seem to have some good options but are they locked? and which is good for my application

Adaptronic looks good to but can't find much out about it

or a vipex/haltec from the usa?

i have access to a SECS S8 aswell (would be very very cheap) but don't seem to be able to find much info on it table sizes features etc and i believe it requires an external coil pack driver

any help would be very much appreciated as it seems a bit of a minefield
thanks -James-
