This.
I bought an ECUteked ECU for £140 already mapped/liecensed to Bob Rawle. I contacted him regards mapping cost for a fresh map and it was under £300.
So for £420 I got the ECU and custom map to my car. some pleaces/mappers charge a little more due to license fees on the software etc. so I saved myself around £100 with no compromise on service.
I wouldn't simply buy an ECU and plug/play unless the map was generic and a lot safer than a custom map. Every car is slightly different hense different results when mapped. You'd be foolish to think you can plug and play unless actually advised to by a respected mapper.

I'm after buying 1 that's been mapped with small mods as I'm only after 300 bhp tops, if I can get 1 for the right price and licence then it's a start,I'm fully aware that it'll need tweaking to suit

But doing it that way will be ultimately more expensive
Because as sure as eggs is eggs you will want more power and need it mapping again for future mods

Cheers toneh, the Big Bang theory,what if you took your pride and joy to a big name mapper and it goes bang,if anyone on here was worried about that then there would be a **** load of standard subaru's around

What's to consider? I get an ecu with a licence put the additional mods on I want then get it tweaked, walbro and a filter will get me 280,running on v power and ngk plugs,if you get your ecu mapped twice does that mean its getting weaker,nah dint think so, so brand new or used,what's the difference

Had 2 pm's off well known mappers saying they'll tweak an ecu for 150 quid,so if I paid 200 for an ecu, I'm sure that comes in less than a new ecutec or simtec or even the new esl,

I will have a link G3 with sensors and wiring to suit a99-00 car. Runs maf-less and has antilag, having it taken out by enginetuner today and having a alcatek with toucan fitted. It will need a remap, was last done by Bob Rawle. £350
