Yeah they are all compatible. The best one is an S1 ECU, Blue Red Blue, or Blue White Blue, something like that

Make sure u have a knock sensor - green plug on right of inlet manifold - if u are going to run hearts diamonds. If you do have this sensor - then ANY ecu will work

This car has no knock sensor and thus requires a non knock enabled Ecu.

I can never remember what colour does what to be honest, so if anyone else can help this chap out with a definitive list?
