Which ECU

Which ECU
Ok long way off in the future but i'd like to start planning where I'm going.
So here's how the spec should end up
EJ257 Crank
ACL Race bearings
Wiseco 92.5mm pistons
Brian Crower Rods
STI V3 Heads
Iirc 700cc injectors
FMIC
SC42 or 46.
Now, it will be easy to say Syvecs but money is the major hurdle. An ESL daughter-board would be the cheaper option but will i be limited to what i can do? (I'm looking for a steady 400BHP, but if possible i'd like to reach a limit IE 450 and then "down" map to 400BHP to preserve the engine). Though i like the option of switching between maps at the push of a button.

ESL will not limit you. Just because it isn't expensive doesn't mean there is a horsepower limit. If your fuel and air systems can deliver enough charge for 600hp, ESL will accurately control the ignition, fuelling and boost to deliver that result. Your tuning budget will go further and deliver more horsepower this way.

Switched with the key and throttle position. Two full maps, not offsets, knock control, 3d boost, diagnostic codes, OEM idle/cruise, maf/mafless switchable, plug and play, self mappable if required, £295+VAT.

It's £25 to fit. 92/6 sometimes have a socket carrier so you can just plug it in yourself. 97/8 is much harder and we would recommend having it fitted by us unless you solder for a living.
