Default Can Anyone Identify This Ecu

I have recently bought this ECU of E-Bay and was wondering if anyone could give me some information on it, It is a Mines aftermarket ECU which is also a fully remappable unit. There Is A picture below, it also says that with a few extra mods the car can put our some big horsepower, what kind of modifications would these be?

As DW says, and as it looks like you already knew, it's a Mines.

However, proceed with caution before dropping this in your car. Mines is a Japanese company and most of these things are mapped for Japanese fuel and conditions. There have been a few stories here about imports equipped with these ECU's blowing up in big ways shortly after arriving on these shores and being forced to run on our petrol, and that's even assuming that the box you've got is a perfect match for your car.

Yes, the ECU is theoretically reprogrammable, but whether there's someone in this country with the equipment and knowledge to do it is another question altogether.
