You need to list the exact spec of the car it came from
If its from a standard car with no mods then it might be suitable to use if it's what you would call a basic map tweak
But that said it wouldn't really be wise to use on another vehicle without checking the vehicle over because in a lot of cases cars are mapped on an individual basis and as you probably know , no two cars are really the same

E,g , injector size , what turbo , exhaust , inlet , ect

Surely you need things like transponder or key chip mate.

I'm not quite sure what your asking?? Tony has given you the basics? If you know who's buying it and your confident it will work then go for it won't need the key or chip, so why is this guy buying it? Because it has the ecutek licence on their already? Or is it os?

When you ask what do I need to include, why don't you give us a list of what you think is needed or list what your concerns are and we can tell you yey or ney think that's probably going to be the easiest way here

They not like the vauxhall ecu's chap thank god!

What year is your car? And what year is the car its intended to go in to? Is yours a uk or jdm car? Same again for the other car, they won't swap over if different models, both have to be of same spec.

The mods you have listed above the other car will need to be to at least the same spec if your just planning on plugging it in and away you go so to speak, or is he planning in buying it and getting it mapped gain to his spec?

I'm not 100% sure then chap I'm just as confused if that's what you been told as there are always ecu's on here for sale which people buy to save them purchasing a licence for their ecu and I can't say I've seen them advertised with transponders keys etc

I think you may be best dropping Simon jgm an email if he's the one that mapped it, he would be able to tell you what car it will work on and what's what with it, i don't want to be giving you wrong information, but I'm pretty sure you don't need the transponder and key as mine has a titanium key which has no chip in it
