Default Small budget sprint project

Hello,

I just bought a ECU for a erst (S2) with a chip installed (superchip).
Now I saw in the burton power catalogue that there are to kinds of chips for the s2.
Does it make a differance if you swap these when they are not the same?
Because the chipped ECU has following code (blue, red, white => early model), and the car it is going in to is a '90 spec erst.

the different chips match the different ecus,

so aslong as the chip is correct for your ecu then just plug her in

The blue, red, and white ecu's are on pre '90 spec RS Turbo's, and the "heart's and diamonds" ecu is on the '90 spec ecu's. I bought a pre 90 spec ecu that was chipped to replace my hearts and diamonds one and all was fine

No, because the chip and the -31 actuator isn't fitted on the car.
As soon as I'm finished with my exames, the car is going to be set-up on the rolling road in my school.
The car is just a low-buget sprint project. I bought it with a friend of mine for just 250€ -> +- 170 ponds. (gearbox had broken down)
It had a omp exhaust (full system), omp strut bar and a weitech damper + spring set.
I just change the gearbox with one of a 1.1 fiesta (4 speed).
We checked the car at school, but the compression was on the low side. But we have an other engine ready to be fitted.

Some pic's

I'll post the rolling road graph asap.
