L8 and P8 looms were interchangeable - hence a P8 ECU will work in an L8 loomed sierra and an L8 ecu will work in an escos big turbo

and the P8 ECU has more functions available as it has the hardware already in there, providing the software is set up - such as antilag, water injection, coilpacks and other goodies

P8 is the best - as it has more hadware functions than the L8

and yes- there is a fair bit of differnece in the ecu's

its entirely upto you - what do you want out of the car?

The looms are quite different due to the different type fuse box in the Escort.
