Technically yes, Is it worth it? NO. You could fit a scoobyecu board which the above is a redesign of.. However I will no longer supply them as I cant be arsed with the hassle.
Best bet is get andyf, Jolly Green Monster, Pavlo etc to fit you an Apexi Power FC.

What is the Apexi Power FC? What about fitting an aftermarket ecu, I have a megasquirt ecu sitting which I was going to fit to another car. I wasnt to keen on fitting it to the scoob since it wont have any transient settings affecting driveability.

An A'PEXi PowerFC is a replacement ECU (you need your model-specific version). I used to suggest a PowerFC fitted and mapped by Andy Forrest for £750 over a 'ScoobyECU' as it represents far better value. The ESL solution only costs £200 though and I think that it will suit some people better.

and having a bit of a power increase the ESL chip is ideal.

I would say with full decat/panel filter plus remap around 250/260bhp

A UK car will have a socket already fitted onto the PCB, whichll make fitting an ESL upgrade easier.
Its possible that your car has been fitted with a PPP ECU, which is essentially similar to the C-Series JDM Z4 ECU. If thats the case itll be good for about 13-odd PSI boost (up from 12.7) and about 260bhp.

Now I think that was a bargain..
But it wasnt worth thousands of emails, saying "what boost will it run, and how quick will it be"

I should qualify that then David. ScoobyECUs were superb value for money; Ican remember when they sold for about £75!
As far as Im aware real ScoobyECUs arent available anymore (although Scott Taylor sells the odd one on eBay (and they attract silly prices)). A number of companies sell so-called 'ScoobyECUs' but the price approaches £500 by the time theyve been fitted and mapped. Compared to that an A'PEXi is far better value.

Simon,
Scoobyecu's are available, I can still order more if I was so inclined, I am not though.. They can be bought via Scoobyclinic and Paul at Zen can probably also supply, however I suspect he wont deal with new purchases, if you have one allready then he may.
No one else in the UK sells scoobyecu boards.
Scoobyclinic supply scoobyecu's with a difference, they will custom map it on the rolling road and also accomodate injector changes etc, the cheap scoobyecu boards are a generic pull some fuel out and add some boost map, ie not really pushing the car.. but then what do you expect for a map via post.

Save your coin for the Apexi...it was the best money I spent on my scoob!
