I was lucky and brough it off a mate that just came back from oversea.

But even if you check out some of the internet sites, they are pretty cheap.

Now all I have to do is get the thing installed and keep all you guys posted. Hopefully I will be able to gain about 30kw and a better mid range torque with the ignition control.

Strutto, has anyone actually proved that the manual PFC is no good in an auto? I am running a modified manual ECU in my auto and am able to increase the boost to 1bar, although it wont hold until i fit an electronic boost controller. It also changes hard between gears and generally goes better with no real difference in fuel consumption. I have had no adverse effects except for occasional stalling but that was the case with the standard ECU.

Have you run the Diagnostic on the Auto since you installed the other ECU? Does the gear changes fell harsh and does your auto hesitate to change up gears?

No i haven't run diagnostics, the only noticeable difference with gear changes is 1st to 2nd gear is brutal at WOT. No hesitation shifting up, however if i stuff around with the throttle to listen to the bov, it changes a little awkwardly, like a small free rev. This is characteristic of a trans that needs maintenance or is low on fluid. I will check this in the next 2 weeks as i am a lazy bastard!:( I do have a long term leak on the trans cooler that could be the culprit. when i get an EBC it will be less annoying swapping between the 2 ECU's as i have to adjust the boost for the stock ecu, therefore making it easier to check transmission behaviour with the auto and manual computers.
