Really, oh think mine is slap bang in the middle, looks like the ECU might be up for grabs, does this mean i need an ESL daughter board to remap?

what colour are the plug sockets on the SP ecu. If grey then its defo a v5. If they are yellow then itll be v4. Though im pretty certain the v4 prodrive ecu has a different code
