Not without chopping the end off it to swap it over to the emerald wiring requirements.

Im sure the ecu is 'suitable for boost'???? surely ffs?
Yes it is.

Ive been out in Tabs car , all seemed to behave perfectly admitately it wasnt huge boost tho. From memory i cant think why it wouldn,t be good for a cossie turbo reading what is said about on Emerald website.
Can the level 8,s run such good emmisions
Yes and in fact the transient emissions and economy when mapped by someone who knows what they are doing will put most aftermarket ECU's in the shade, even proper ones not just emerald

as mentioned a million times b4 Tabetha,s engine runs .97 co on large injectors.
I believe it runs 4 wheels as well, but surely like getting basic emissions right thats also easily acheived?

This must be benifical for the engine and overall running . Im definately considering the switch , i know theres lots of other ecu,s but you get attached with what you learn and im finding it very difficult to see where a k3 will be not worth it. I,m really not too bothered on the tech mapping software etc etc just want a lovely controlled engine , with a few tricks to play with . 3 different maps, sounds awsome to me. What i know abt ecu,s you can write on a stamp by the way , just expressing how i see it. Please tell me different if im wrong ,
cheers mike
What would you use the 3 different maps for?
Rod for example as one map on his cossie on autronic, and that works for shopping and doing over 200mph and everything else in between.
Unless you are going to reguarly run on different fuel types, why would you need a switchable map?
