Default Escos small turbo ANTE ECU is untunable???

Just spoke to Graham Goode's with regards their 305 conversion and they have said because I have the ANTE version of the ECU I'm bollox'd they won't even attempt a conversion, too many running problems with the ECU

anybody else heard of this, this has got me worried now as my stage 1 chip caused a breakdown over xmas hence I had to take it off. I am awaiting TurboSystems to return from the holidays to sort it out but I don't want to attempt anything that is going to cause me continual problems with the car

I presume to properly resolve this problem I am looking at some huge cost and major ECU/Loom upgrades etc.

I like 200hp really at least it won't /might not break down

ok I will speak to Tony once he gets his arse into work LOL!!

anyway....

Goodeys offer a 305 conversion which involves:

Exhaust
Fuel Pump
Chip
Fuel regulator

now I have the exhaust and fuel pump so why do other peeps conversions put out 270/280 hp whats different, or are they just optimistic figures??

I have always wondered how this would stand.......

Say xxx companys does a 305bhp conversion with such and such products. You then get this done and get it to a RR that BOTH company and yourself is happy with.
If it doesnt make the said 305 then how do you stand..........??????

As they are saying its a "305bhp conversion"

I know its being picky but how would you stand......false advertising ect ect

PS--This is not aimed at any cmpany in specific......... just wondering
