Hi Stan, thank you for replying and also for sharing your experience and thoughts or, at least, best guess on what the ECU flash does.
I'm not sure if this is possible or not, but do you think I can buy an ECU with the "flash" (different mapping, I suppose)and have it sent to me? ANd if this is possible, will I be able to swap ECUs back and forth while I try to establish what the difference might be?
I'm afraid of two things: 1) something goes wrong and/ or gets delayed to no end and I'm left here strandded with a car that doesn't have its ECU; 2) The flash, intended to "smooth" the engine, in fact removes power and torque and in a way the character of the beast. I prefer to "smooth" the exhausts rigidity if that's the case.
Hi Nigel, long time we don't talk, hope the rest of your trip around Europe was good, I see you got back from it already! I will try to download that S&S software and do as you say, I have no idea how that can be done but I bet the guys in the workshop know what to do if I tell them what you suggested. In any case I will still try to check if I can just order a "flashed" ECU and keep the original, as stated above.
