MTE allways write their software with a full awareness of the weaknesses of both engine and transmission, so you will get no barely controlled spikes of boost that allow damaging peaks of torque that can damage both engines by bending rods and transmissions.

The current price of an MTE software upgrade is £325 including VAT and I can carry out the installation if you visit me here in NW London or if you send me the ECU by post. I do not open the ECU to carry out the installation.

I do also have stronger rods in stock at the most competative of prices if you are contemplating even higher outputs and exhausts and other components to support such outputs. It is my view that you need no special pistons for proposed outputs below 350bhp or so.

Best regards, Don.

Thanks for the information I will make an appointment to have the ECU tuned once I have completed repairs bringing the car up to a good mechanical standard. I havent even ventured into the engine yet but will be buying some new Turbo pipes in the coming weeks, do yours only come in blue?
