Nice expensive ECU, and it would get run circles round by a basic megasquirt install in reality if its done like that, no matter how many mapping points you have!

Poor cunt, out of the frying pan into the fire.

It started so well, and then quickly went wrong:

Built by germans,
owned by a fool,
bodged by some crap garage,
and mapped by a welshman
