Just thought we would pop on and offer a few words before spending out on the ecu if it seems like a deal!

Any ecus bought and destined for the uk or the rest of europe will have to be bought from ourselves, we are the european distributors for the system, this has been set p so we can offer support and technical advise to all our customers, however we can only offer this support and advise if the ecu was spec'd and bought from us.

Any enquiries made to any of the gotech dealers are forwarded to jamsport in order to keep the dealerships fair.

Each ECU is serial numbered so everyone knows where it has come from.

I hope this helps before people spend their hard earned cash.

if you need any more info please dont hesitate to call me or email

col cos1: There was/is a guy his name is Sean username i think is: turboboss if you search for it. Good lad and am sure hes been using Go-tech on this 2.1 zvh frst running around 400bhp. He should have some good advice for you so i'd recommend emailing him for a piece of mind
