for that sort of power most seem to recommend the predator as its fairly cheap and plug and play for single plugs.

yer well you should talk to the mapper, see what systems they like to work with as it always good to have a system which they like to work with.

so bassically unless atspeed suggest otherwise a predator ecu is probably going to be best for me, and it will be a few months before it gets to that stage anyway, thanks for the input guys helps me out a tad, also do you rekon it would be alright to run on the standard ecu up to atspeed?

Yeah, Omex is a good ECU and Atspeed have a great reputation, but you can't escape the fact that it's well over £1k fitted and mapped.
I made my ECU in the first place to overcome the enormous cost of getting standalone management

yeah im affraid I just cant go that far with the management to spend over 1k on it... omex would be good but just not cost affective for me... and as for your offer on the predator ecu andy, if I had the money right now that would be great but... I don't lol (spent too much money on the mr2 track car dohh)
