All the parts required for running on T2 is the same for weber so no extra costs at all.
I had the same setup for my first car which was done the same way. I bought a loom and ECU off ahmed for loads of money then was told that the cost of mapping was as much as the ecu. What was the point in that.
In the long run will cost less to have the same result and can be done much easier.
You had a touch with the cost of the T2 setup so if you sold it on and fitted weber you will save money. Fit the T2 and get it mapped in the end will cost you more.
Simple as that.

soz mate but that simply aint correct , to get both ecus running correctly on a car it must surely be mapped to the car it is fitted to unless you have built two engines to identical spec and you are using data from one and downloading to another ecu and then it would most probably want live mapping to do the final checks etc to get it running perfect. as for getting weber live mapped for a £100 tell me where as iam going there 2moz , for £100 notes mate i wouldnt expect much at all to be honest let alone a live map , plus it aint £600 for a live map more like £450/500 max and thats from the likes of ahmed which i might add is one of the best mappers if not the best so i guess you get what you pay for!
and how do you know that the second hand ecu of more than 20 years of age is in perfect working order? i dont think most tuners have ecu testing equipment so is it a case of fit it to the car and see if it runs and if there is a problem with the ecu then buy other one or have it repaired
so i think it aint as simple as that
