looking for a new ecu
hey folks... i'm thinking of upgrading my ecu on my p reg v3 sti.. i probably don't have as much cash as i would like/need to, hence why i'm after some advice on here
preferably i would like an ecu that can have different boost settings.. one for where i wanna go a bit mental and the other for when im jus driving about normally...
launch control would be nice aswell and if theres a way i can pop a big bang once in a while without antilag i would like to know about it
cheeers, steve

my standard ecu has been mapped by jollygreenmonster already but when it was with the previous owner... is the over run potentially a little dangerous to damaging the engine or it just gonna hurt my fuel consumption?

no idea mate lol... all i know is its putting out 326bhp on surrey rr dynos abd all its had done is fmic and the jgm map. when i took my car into local subaru specialist for a quick winter lookover he couldn't tell me what ecu it was either and he can normally tell just from hearing them when the engine running!

..i see this is the standard ecu although from what i can gather they do aftermarket ones aswell which might be what mine is... it doesnt have jecs all over the ecu... jus on the sticker on the side and on the main bit facing the passenger its got like an l shape in a circle and 6s written on it... any info would be appreciated cheeers
