Decided a simtek would best fit my needs, can be supplied fitted and mapped local to me and works out £2300 with new wrc loom and coil on plug. With this I can add sensors for low fuel and oil pressure to stop my engine grenading where as the Weber would happily allow that. Also I like the idea of drive by wire throttle, it takes over as the idle control valve, when using anti lag it opens the throttle rather than having to file away at the ISCV and also auto blips on downshift.

Each to their own, im starting from a basic spec car so makes sense to me. You’ll notice the amount of L8 ecus forsale recently where the owners are going aftermarket
