    It would be good to learn how to do something like this yourself, but just imagine how many borken engines there will be when inexperienced DIY'ers tune their own cars. A good product none the less.

    Good find! - seems pretty good and is reasonably priced.. it would be better if there was a library of modified files based on different specs to get people started or to use out the box. i guess it's just like a primitive version of the PPC/Softloader systems for the ME7 cars..

    ecu

    ummmm big yes from me ,,, i will openly say that i have no trust in some so called tuners ,, my opinion is they can work from a manual and probably know there stuff on standard volvo cars ,,However tuning and remapping is a totaly different storey,,, do they know there stuff do they really know what there doing ??? theres so many thing,s to take into account when mapping a car,, i have my doubts .. my so called remap which is supposedly a custom map does not look that good on a dyno graph AFR it,s ok and the car runs well but it,s close to the limit imho !!!!! i for one will be following this ecu and will purchase one in the future ,,, my thoughts
