Default JDM STi V7 ECU/ UK STi V7 ECU

I have a JDM STi V7 and I'm looking for an Ecutek'd ECU for it.

I have the chance of a UK STi V7 ECU that has been mapped.

Will it be ok to use? It was off a UK car that had the same mods as mine. I know it will need tweeked for my car if it does fit, I'm just wondering if it'll fit and be ok to run 'till I get it mapped to suit my car?

He's a mapper based in the north West, you don't state where your are based,

but he can add....

Launch Control
Valet Mode
Two stage boost control
"Warm-up" limiter

And it's non-Ecutek so way cheaper.

^That's only if the ECU has been patched, at the moment the only EDM ECU with the full list is a WRX. He'll be able to add Launch Control, that's been available for a while.

Shocker, ECUTek taking the lead from the OS community. They adding FFS to the 32-bit ECU's?

Not wanting an arguement either, just interesting they're taking a lead from OS. Is Speed Density on the horizon for ECUTek?

I had a look at the two ROM's, I wouldn't, they're quite different. Someone that's tried it might say different though.

Whilst admiring the work of the OS community....

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the JGM himself.
