alright fella the ecu i have gives better performance all round espeially at the top end its runs 1/1.1 bar boost with fueling/ignition to match and stops the fuel cut as the boost limit is raised.

A chip is generic and intended to suit any car with similar modifications but it does not cater for your car individually. While you will get a performance gain it is only a partial gain to what is potentially available
By far your best bet is to get the car mapped with an ESL or other aftermarket second hand ECU such as Apexi, Simtek, Link etc. then the car can be mapped for your specific modifications to suit your needs.

If the ECU is not mapped to your engine it cannot provide optimum power and you run the risk of destroying your engine.
apart from the other car had a td05
That is a mega difference.
