Get an Omex 600 -I am no mapper and have no experience but having been out in a car that was being mapped on Omex 600 - I can see the software interface is very easy to get on with.
Even I managed to adjust a few tables and its fairly easy to see if you are in danger of blowing your engine up.
Thats what im going for with all new loom, etc - even though I still have my mint uncut 3dr loom sat here.
A newer ECU with all the features built in will be better than a 20 year old ecu with loads of functions added.
Also dont forget the warranty side of things on a new ECU

Read my post again, as yours is pretty much agreeing with me, I don't arse lick and I don't like arse lickers, I'm the absolute opposite.
AS the post was VERY OBVIOUSLY comparing the std fit ecu's of 20 odd years old with aftermarket that is what I answered.
It's a forum and everybody is entitled to an opinion.
Just as an example over a chipped and set up msd chip on my L6, I picked up 140 miles PER TANK, I really would love to see a L6 match the driveability or emissions/mpg of a modern ecu correctly mapped as mine was.
I don't believe in on road mapping/set up but still recommend msd as they do a good job this way.
Getting 500+bhp is not even scratching the surface of what a decent mapping session does, I know certain "experts" who don't even do the cold fuelling on some cars just because they are track cars.
Remember the landing on the moon was done with less computer power than your average modern calculator, I wonder why ford changed ecu's a few times ?, the L1 was shit it did the job at the time when only sales and not mpg/emissions were key like they are now.
I don't know anyone who builds ecu's in the shed, I assume you do ?, if you wish to do it this way that's fine each to thier own and all that, personally I'm not a fan , so don't assume anything about me, it's the mother of all fuck ups, remember!
Some get results they are happy with with MS etc, I bought a ready made ecu that was designed by the same people who build it and the same people who map it, so they know it well.
A modern std car fit type ecu is much much more to do with emissions than power.
I don't care if people "follow me" I say as I see, take it or leave it, I have my opinion and everyone else has theirs personally I think chip writes some wrong stuff, that didn't stop me helping him where I could with his brake caliper identification, don't take it so personally I don't.

Hi ... I cant figure out how a new Omex 600 including a full setup, wiring and so on, would be cheaper than a L8 DIY chip with all the above mentioned or for that matter a L8 live map .... are the Omex ECU's, fittings and map that cheap in GB ???
