Default buying 2nd hand chipped ecus ?

is it wise and whats all entailed in it ?

just unplug the one on the car and plug in the new one then put on a different actuator then get it set up ?

sure i would need a -31 or -34 actuator aswell ?

or am i best to not risk it and get a new one from a tuner

thanks........steve

Is this for an Escort RS Turbo or the Cosworth in the picture??

If second hand on ERST, depends what chip and who from I suppose

Lots of rouge traders as I call them sellig tired old shit that dont work on thier car to pay for a new working item

You'll need a new actuator to be best, probably from Stu@MotorsportDevelopments - about 70 ish i think
