mine had incorrect wiring, missed soldering on the board. I couldn't drive to the mapper as it was running on 2 cylinders, rick from unicorn developments travelled to me, found the faults and fixed them, we sent the ecu back after photographing both sides of the board, he said the only thing he done was remove the wire rick added, yet we had photos to prove numerous changes upon its return, avoid like the plague the blokes attitude and arrogance stinks.

Rob @ boost monkeys is your man.
