Yep.
When the ECU is mapped, I'll have a printout of all the figures, which is nice :D

Can you believe In 10 years I've never dyno'd my car :oops: , Rich seems to think it's probably around the 190 mark at the momemt, taking mods/mileage into account, so it should feel like a different animal when I get it back.

Did you get the ECU from him as well, or had you sent him one you already had?
Got the whole lot from him Nathan, looked at picking up another ecu, but by the time I'd got it, sent it etc, it wouldn't have saved me a great deal, so thought better to have it all from him in case of any issues.
Good idea. I bought my S300 from him, but already had a P28. Having since found out PAW don't like to do the installations into ECU's themselves I'm now considering sending both bit back to Scott to get the S300 installed.

I thought you were fairly handy with a soldering iron Nafe? Not tempted to do it yourself? If youve got the right tools (desolder pump etc) I'd imagine it's not toooooooo difficult? I hear you though, TBH it's got to the point where I'm more concerned with everything going smoothly, hence letting someone else worry about it :lol:

Only ever soldered one thing before and that was splicing the injectors harness together. That was straight forward. When it comes to the ECU though I need to know it's done right, as what with removing so much from the harness as I have done, I need to make ruling out probable causes if it doesn't work easy lol.

EDIT: That's a lie, I re-soldered the mains relay on my Aerodeck, but again... That's not an ECU ;-)

Another little update.

This splendid work of art arrived today:

Another Solid Fabrications work of art, Alan has done a great job.

Also, more pics in the first post (Finally..), actually I'll post them here too.

It's honesty only had a basic wash, so there's a good few streaks and marks everywhere, but figured I won't be seeing it for a little while as it's off to Rich tomorrow for the new engine etc :rock:

Hope you like
