Put it in just now, great.
Lot more torque low down it feels and revs cleanly well into the solid red, think I only took it to about 7700rpm but it makes a good difference having the extra revs. Also raises the RPM point at which over run fuel cut switches, only advantage I can think of is making it smoother to drive. This is probably the reason the original owner experienced increased fuel consumption to normal.On inspection its a
"piggy backed" ECU with a 3rd daughter board aka Blitz, Mines, Tom's etc.Sticker says
