Question

I figure not because essentially i am changing the brain and not the body, therefore the brain will run the body how it see's fit.

Am I right?

I can't believe that it's a straight forward proceedure Maybe it is until it gets Scoobynetted

Yeah, I stuck it on Yesterday and have covered about 50 miles in it, various types of road and well..........maybe i was expecting too much Sure it pulls well, but so did my old ecu (Just not in second! ) Through the twisties, the car started to slide earlier with less fuss and comotion (I presume that would be the extra torque ) All in all an improvement but not what i was expecting.

Mind you I said that about DAWES after i'd initially fitted it, but didn't appreciate it properly until i'd re-learnt how to drive the car to get the best out of it.

Maybe i need to go re-learn

Wicked pops, bangs and Flames now though
