Default Replace orig. ECU with Gotech unit

I am about to replace the original ECU with a Gotech one from Jamsport. But i am not 100% sure if it is the ECU with the white or green label i have to replace with the Gotech.
Looking at it yesterday shortly, i think that it is the one with the green label, but just wanted to ask some PF´if is the right one.

And where have you installed the ECU ? same place as the orig. or somewhere under the dashboard ?? (Gotech manual says somewhere dry )

Surely an aftermarket ECU would be replacing both ECU's?

OK thanks

The engine has already been converted to EFI and i do have the new loom and Gotech ECU, but for some reason the 2 old ECU´s are still in the car.
They will be removed asap.
