Mappable ECU's-which one!?
As title.
Engine rebuild is finished and I'm running it in on the original Stage 3 Superchip (which makes it run like a dogs dinner!!!) and a set of Dark Greens.
It will be running a T4 roller bearing turbo and 1000cc injectors at some point and needs a mappable ECU, I'm thinking an Autronic SM4 at the moment. Any advise otherwise!!????
Cheers,

Where do you think I got my idea from!!
LOL
He is a fookin legend!
Didn't mention a model, but looking at it, I think either an SM 2 or an SM 4 should sort me out.
What are you running Euan?
By the way, I'm seeing more of your car now than you are!! LOL
Here's a reminder!!
Still looks the dogs!!
Sorry for the shit phone pic!!

Would say go with what Alan thinks if he is going to map it. I know he likes the Autronic stuff and is good at mapping it. He is also trying the Colins ecu out on my car and from what he has said thinks its a good bit of kit and is plug and play.
Bonus is if you go for Autronic he will have a good frew maps to work from as it sounds like you will be similar spec to Euan.

Cheers for the help!!
I think I'll stick with the Autronic (just toss a coin for SM2 or SM4!!) as Alan mentioned it first, and as you say Neil, he'll be mapping it and has some good info to work from!!

Buy it from Mark, the back up you get is second to none!

It still then doesn't have the number of mapping points (or all the features) as the Autronic, which runs a 36-1 pulley like T6 etc.
I just didn't see the RP labs one as being applicable in this instance (just like despite being a T6 man, I didn't think this was applicable in this instance either
).His tuner is familiar with Autronic, his tuner has maps for Autronic, his tuner suggested Autronic, so given that, I think that Autronic is the way to go in this instance
. Despite what some think, I try to be as objective as possibe...

Alan can map anything he is given but in all honesty mate your better going with something he has a good bit of experience with.
It means he can utilise all the special features of said ECU and reall y get the best out of the engine.
Mine was the first Autronic he has mapped and he is still finding new things on it everytime he explores the menus
