Top right is a daughterboard.
Assuming you are after a live mappable board it maybe better to get a new one fitted and mapped as new features available such as mafless

Thanks for the info.

So this isn't a remappable esl ecu then?

How much is for a mafless esl unit then? And how good are they?

O and what are the upgrades availible?

Thanks

it looks more like the live map board. the other one had mini eproms.
im sure there was only 2 boards made.

take a better pic showing just the board mate.
but to me, this is the live map one.

Live mappable means the map can be altered instantly whilst mapping rather than having to reblow an eeprom.
Your going to have to have a 2nd hand one mapped so factor cost into your budget.
