   search button mate,
   predator (section for this in affilaites) is the only plug and play ecu i know of, butoher then that there hundreds mate, but 95% are universal and need wiring into your engine loom then mapped up to suit, full maps arent cheap either, gotta work out you price range first

   Predator isn't 3 plug.
   
   All will need to be wired in and sorted to control your Dash coolant temp.

   I wish the pred would hurry up, only thing thats stopping me from fitting cams is ECU. I dont want to spend ££££ on an Omex or having my standard one remaped, then the pred comes out.

   Just fit the cams on standard Ecu, time them up and they'll be fine. Can fit a 3.5Bar FPR to help things out a bit and then go for a Predator when they come out.

   lmao i know ross ive waited a year for the 1 plug vtr, just got a new vtr btw in the first page of the progress section, id prefer pred but this should be ready for ecu no more then 3 months from now, if pred isnt ready ill have to go elsewhere as im not waiting, i know andy is a busy man but ive asked a few times and no update or anything... most be likley omex, or get a squirt made up, my dads handy and qualified and i got a few handy mates too

   I'm trying on the 3-plug VTS front, I'm only one guy, and it continues to surprise me how much interest there is in what I do....!
   
   All future ECU's rely on the 3-plug VTS being finished, because the basic functionality and features and benefits are all on the 3-plug, so until that's finished none of the others will be done, because I won't put out something I'm not 100% sure about
   
   We've gone for a fairly large upgrade to functions and features and these will be incorporated in all future ECU's.
   
   The problem on the 3-plug is an *extremely* odd one, which is why it's taken ages to sort out, and on top of that I've had builds and the 10-off single plug group buy which has taken up a fair amount of this year so far.
   
   It is happening, and it's hopefully not ages away!

   awesome mate, nice to hear its definatley on the agenda, can imagine you have enough running you business never mind sorting ecu too (didnt mean anything by the above post btw, just needed answers lol), i hope youve got it sorted for when im ready as id much prefer to use a plug and play and the pred has had good reports on all accounts
