Default Thinking of going T6, Old P8 worth?

I guess this is a whats it worth thread.

P8 converted to run 8 injectors, closed loop, 12 pot boost control, anti lag, water inj, etc. etc.

Any clues?

Just want to work out costs in swapping over

£800 for a super 8 ecu! P8 has no relevance here, worth no more than £450 imo as the chip or any chip at this level is no good to anyone.

SO you thinking of going old ecu to old ecu then

if your P8 does what you need stay with it, the T6 does a lot, do you need any of what it does ? but the T6 is also not supported anymore by pectel (Pi) and to be honoust they are generally well over priced for how old they are.

Everyones allowed their opinion i guess even its a worthless one .
P8 is a very capable ecu , most tuners still have maps for it and its a cost effective way of allowing 8 injectors , Water injection , launch control ,ALS etc... Value it how you will but thats what they make on a good day .
