ECU's Worth Upgrading ?
 
My old 3 door is running a level 1 ECU.

I've seen L6's floating around for sale on Flea-Bay and the likes.

Is it worth changing ? Will I notice it in the drive ?


What are ECU's worth these days ?

L1 ?

L6 ?

Escort Cossie ?

Hi Ian

Did you have to replace the loom at all or did it just plug straight in ?

What benefits did you see in doing it ?

Cheers Neil

You will deffo notice you have to get it mapped again :DD:

Seriously though, depends on spec what you will notice. If std, virtually nowt.

Hi Stu

I'm running T34, Greens, 500 Cooler, and alledged BD10's but other elements of the spec arent what the original seller claimed so they could be a couple of HB pencils for all I know.....
