Same as whats in mine (esl v1.0) so I say its good as it still allows the ecu to recognise the engines sensors therefore pick up fault codes..
Look up andy Stevens (esl main man on here) and he should be able to give you some more insight mate ;-)

The 'Chip' as such is the whole green PCB ,

This V1 ESL is not mappable no , its has preset values to optimise performance for a predefined range of mods.

If it hasn't been played around with it's based on a Z4/6K and is set for 1.1bar, 11:1AFR on boost and a little less ignition. As has been said, it isn't mappable and is preset.

It's generic and we stopped making them to make way for ESL live, which is alot better although more expensive.

Cheers.

Also check that j1 resistor has been cut which will allow your ecu to run the map on the esl chip
