ECU tuning option for a 1997?
Hi all,
Its been a while since I have had my hands on a Scooby but a blue 97 Terzo has come my way.
I used to have a year 2000 so ECU tuning was easy but I think I remember that a 97 was a funny ECU?
Its currently running a VF28 turbo and a straight through exhaust, if I want to start increasing the power and getting a bigger turbo I know the ECU is going to need remapping or changing. Whats my options?
Thanks in advance, Hoff.

Think you mean ESL Enduring Solutions Limited but as far as i know it's not finished so it's a KLR16V said the OP has to replce the entire unit.
there is the Unichip and Greddy E Manage but i think most people shy away from these

I have a dastek unichip fitted to mine and its been faultless so far.
Sitting at 260bhp and 258lbs torque.
Mines a classic with 135000 miles on it and its running better than ever more mpg as well. Its been on since june and it transformed every aspect of the engine.

I have just taken my old Simtek from my 97 type r and will be selling it shortly.
I only changed it as I wanted launch control and as this is the old model it cannot have launch control added. So I bought the new version.
It still has most of the features of the new hardware and was on mine running 490bhp.
PM me if you are interested.
