Guys
Will I need a brand new one from the dealers or can I drop in a second hand one: if the latter, does it need to be an R one and will it need any kind of coding? All answers welcome.
Cheers

How do you know whether it's an ME7?
Hi,
Your car is 1997 so will be Motronic 4.4 not ME7.
You can use a secondhand ECU from an identical car.

Thanks Hamish- very useful. I can therefore ignore the main dealers say that I'd have to spend £600+ getting a new one programmed. You don't happen to know who's got one for sale or what I should be looking to pay? I'm assuming from your message that I'll need an R one as opposed to a 2.3 20v one?
Manual, 2WD.
ignore wrong advice given: sorry

sorry yes you're right, the std T5's will have a 15g turbo and boost set at 9.5psi
so the ecu map would be incorrect for the 'R' turbo
would that mean that a 15g map would be underboosting the turbo on an 'R' type car ?
