Sounds a lot...but then the bugger is you usually sell an engine with em in!

What engine is it?

I think i have a 2.0ecu somewhere i'd want much less for. Would need to look though!

Some lucky bugger just got my red label turbo ECU for £10.50 + P&P on e-bay.

That'll teach me to not set a reserve......
