Default Black ECU

Sorry if this is a dumb question but im a newbie so be gentle. lol

Ive aquired a black ECU, apparently uprated. It has a turbosystems sticker on it.

All the part numbers match mine etc.

What will be the diffrence between this and my standard one?? And will I get any benefit from replacing mine with it??

There will still be a rev limit in the spark ecu, just it's higher than the one in the fuel computer. Should be fine..

Revving it over the factory rev limit won't gain you anything on a std motor, though.
