no probs andy....ive found out more info like i said i would first...the chip has a window onit for uv light so it can be erased and reprogrammed by eprom programmer. the sticker covers this window but maybe its been taken off and reprogrammed....i took my old ecu out today and opened that, that has no window or solders like yours. thanks for bussiness andy and maybe we can deal in the future. sorry but i didnt have nothing to go off ie: sticker etc. peace of mind now, cooler and the rollin here i come.

cheers

andy
