The new esl is a fantastic bit of kit and better than many other options in my opinion, including some stand alones.
Give Andy Stevens a pm on here, he's the man behind esl.

The resistor is cut to run the board. If you re join it. It will run the o/e map. Its meant to be as it is when using a replacment board

Why don't you send Andy a PM? ESL is his ECU after all.

He'll be able to give you info about it.

Andy will be able to advise on switching maps, for starters.

Understand where you're coming from though.

It's one of the latest boards so MAFless or MAF based load as well as twin maps, knock control, closed loop idle, diagnostics, etc etc.
