7D is a UK ecu i think.
U8,2C,W6 (will work but are 240ps)
Z5
6K

Z4 you should only pay about £60-£70 for but i've seen the ones on eay for over £100 (whoever is selling them is having a laugh imo)
What is wrong with your Z4?

I wouldn't have thought it would bugger up the ecu as reconnecting the J1 resistor sets it back to default and ,imo, if their was a problem with the ecu it wouldn't work at all.
Worth speaking to Scott T at PolarPerformance as he normally has spare ecus and does sell chips for them (some people like them ,some don't).
He also offers the ESL fully remappable daughterboard (Enduring Solutions Limited has a full list of dealers)
