The info in this particular thread is outdated...not that strange given it's revival from years back.

I run a Cossie BOB on ORIGINAL cosworth BOB EEC-V ecu. I do also run the autobox from the original BOB and the pats is actively working.

Adapting the loom from a BOB to work is not that hard if you know what you are doing. I had it done by a specialist enthusiast.

Also there's a group of people in the UK who have unlocked the EEC-V ecu. They can turn pats on and off, same for auto or manual box configuration. They can even remap the ecu... If I'm not mistaken this goes for all EEC-V's except for the TACK one.

Anyway, I wanted a fast cruiser so I'm very happy to have the autobox as well.
