Default L8 ECU
Can someone help!? What difference does this make and do you have to have a T34 & greens to run this ecu? (on a 2WD Saph)

What turbo and injectors you have dictates what map (or "chip") you run in the ecu, it makes no difference if the ecu is a L1/L6/L8/aftermarket etc, all should be able to run more or less any combination of turbo and injectors and engine spec providing they are appropriately mapped.

L8 is the one that Stu@MSD does lots of upgrades for, coilpack conversion etc, so not a bad thing at all if the car you are looking at has one

To clarify a little though, our Wasted Spark conversion is available for all Weber YB ECU's.
