   Alright, seen one for sale for about £100, would i be able to wire the straight up to my VTS engine as i don't have an ecu with it and are there any benefits from using this instead of a normal unlocked ecu that will cost about £90 for my conversion ? also what are its down sides and if i'm looking at this would i be better with a stand alone or a piggy back, this ones already mapped for 708s
   
   Cheers in advance

   I also spotted this for sale *cough* 106owners lol
   
   Anyway, surely a piggyback ECU needs something to piggyback too!

   ahh i see, is ther any on the market that are a swap out for the ecu that would be better than spending say £40 on a ecu then another £80 getting it unlocked
