    he said someone swapped the circuit board of the ecu in japan with a silver f-con and the ecu was no good. He said he has them for sale 1300e or better again get a motec.

    So i went home and had a think.
    Took a few pics of the board sent them on to a sound guy (jack strong) in hks europe then he took the ecu had a look hooked up to it and said there was absolutly nothing wrong with it. So he sent it back. I looked around for someone else to map it, to no avail so i booked back in with tdp, i went up and straight away he was out saying "i thought this ecu was repaired" ,so i said that jack strong of hks said there is nothing wrong the ecu and it was perfect. He then said "oh your dealing with jack strong" and walked off
    two minutes later i could hear him fixing the bad idle of the car and not long later it was on the dyno.

    Car came away running excellent with 413.5bhp and 359lb torque brought it home and took it for a spin and noticed there was no limiter.
    Rang tdp back and he started arguing that i shouldnt be reving it that high and should not be hitting the limiter when drifting anyway so i just asked him nicely to put a limit of 7200rpm on it just after where the peak bhp ends and he said to send it up so i took out the ecu and sent it up two weeks later he sent it back with correct limit on its all back together now and running fine

    these are the facts of my experience without my opinion
    sounds like a cunt of an experience to be honest. think ill get my mate (who used to work there and drive there evo) to sort me out with a place when i need mine done!

    he seems like an odd fellow, but you got good power at the end!
