A scooby ECU is what you need- will also allow you to run on Optimax without octane booster and cost less than £100.

It also makes your car go a lot quicker-it's the best mod available IMHO.

The Scooby ecu fits into your existing ECU- you'll probably need a socket soldered on there as well. Lots of people here have sent their ECU's off to the guys that do them and got them back a few days later.
From what I read on here there is quite a wait for them at the moment.
Look on scoobyshop for more info or www.scoobyecu.co.uk


edited to add: do a search for scoobyecu or look in the technical forums and you'll see loads of threads on it.

Your car is coming off the ship next week? Thought those pics you've posted of it already show it landed and at the importer's?

The ScoobyECU isn't a replacement ECU, it's a satellite circuit board with a couple of EPROMS on it that plugs into the standard ECU board, so to all intents and purposes you are remapping the standard brain.

Look here for further info, or email David Wallis or Pavlo.
