spoke to the guy who did my re-bore he reckoned the mbe ecu's were better than the emerald ones but I'm reasonably confident there isn't much between them.
guess the t3 gave away my target power lol should be plenty fun however,
my main thing is i want to keep it as 'factory' as possible this includes the reliabilty, idle preformance etc
thanks everyone who has contributed so far most constructive comments etc makes a change from some forums lol

mate ive got a miles better option for you if ur target is only 300bhp,
run an AFM and have it put on dreamscience, u will have miles more reliability this way,
only downside is u will need to source probably a focus RS ecu and loom if you can,
if stand aloneis your thing, then emerald onlycharge £250+vatfor full mapping including the 3 switchable ones,
and theydo mild ALS with a flat shift option, and are also fetching out FULL ALS and launch facilities very soon
