Yes, you should be able to get £40 for any old ECU
, if it is one of the 3 i mentioned earlier it could be worth double. As to the question of suitability, with out the model/part No. i cannot confirm either way. Can you not call your mate and ask him?

You can use the MY95/96 saloon ecu on your saloon pushing your 237bhp on super unleaded (dont run unleaded not good for the engine) to 257bhp (I take it you do have a saloon and not a wagon, it will change if you do have a wagon) but you cant use the STI ecu, there are too many differences (injector size, turbo etc) and it will run like a bag of nails and probably pop its clogs on you 
B13bat, you have your ps and bhp incorrect
276bhp (MY97 version 3 sti, phase 1.5 engine), 250ps for the original STI, 275ps (271bhp) for the version 2 sti, none were 280ps until the version 3 STI came out

yeh but the trouble is, i bought one of those chips from major sarcasm on here which is suposed to improve the performance but its not working at the moment due to some fault that may be a boost solenoid or something like that. people keep telling me its the chip but if it was, the car wouldnt start surely??
