Get a map from David, his are about £100 and are v.good. Motec and link are complete ecu's but the price tag is £1500-£2000.
I am currently running one of Davids maps and am very pleased with it.

YES,

Mail me offline with your ECU details and we can talk prices and ECU types. Plenty of others on here have had my remaps, which origionally used the ScoobyECU board. hopefully someone will post here with 'good' feedback.

I am able to get hold of genuine 27C1028 chips, so no longer need the ScoobyECU adaptor (which are getting hard to get from the supplier now anyway).

See my install instructions referenced from David's site www.scoobyecu.co.uk which also gives details why the ScoobyECU was developed.

Scott, isn't David doing them then I was hoping to pop over to his to get my 93wrx re-mapped at the end of the month. Is there a price difference in getting a genuine IC from you rather than using the pcb? Do you have the same maps as David? I was after the 14psi one for my car, not bothered about big power just better map for uk fuel etc

I can still do them, I just need to order some more boards, I have some spares, but I would prefer to keep these at the moment, I had a problem with some I sent out and Im not doing any more until the others are sorted (simple programming error hopefully.. nothing serious) at the most a logic IC failure.

David,

I spoke to you about ordering a ScoobyECU last week. I don't want to hassel you, as I know you're busy. Just wanted to know how long it will be before you get any more in stock.


Cheers

David - I didn't want to bug you as I know you have a LOT on your plate at the moment If it's easier (from your point of view) for me to get one from Scott then I can but I asked you first and owe you for that fuel pump rescue so you have first dibs
Just let me know

I've got the 28pin socket already David, just need the board/IC. I've spent years soldering so should be fine doing it myself (famous last words) Just didn't want to keep e-mailing you as I know you are busy at the moment If you have the board/time I could pop over one night (after the 26th would be good though as that's payday)

Charlie,

Make sure you have a damn good solder sucker, a fine tipped iron and thin solder. As the tracking on the ECU PCB is very fine/brittle.

Thanks Scott, I'll use the iron at work, it's a very good one with a very fine tip. I have an old ecu at home that doesn't work, I'll try it out on that first

David is still doing them...
I stopped doing them in february when I traded up to an MY00. Plus the PCB supplier did not respond to my mails for more bare boards. (David has had the same problem, but I think his last batch was larger than mine).

Since then I have managed to get a limited number of genuine 27C1028 chips, so can remap without using the ScoobyECU PCB.

Prices are the same, as the genuine blank chips cost just as much as the ScoobyECU hardware.

P.S for a 93WRX can do a 14psi or 15.5psi map.
