Default urgent question about chipped ecu's. only got 3 hours left..

theres an ecu on ebay with a power engineering chip, firstly any thoughts on these. and secondly it says the ecu is from a 1986 series 2 and is the hearts and diamonds type, i thought this type was only made for 90, 91 cars, am i wrong?

thanks

I would personally run from anything which involved with Power Engineering, due to my experiences with them.

It doesnt matter what year the car is off, it will work but you would need a knock sensor to stop ignition retard on a hearts/diamond/hash ECU
