Now I have no 480 to test ECUs, then I am unable to modify any more.
Sorry about that.

Oh noooo
I never did get round to buying one of them. There was always something else i needed to fork out for first. I'm sure we'll find another way...

That's a bummer.
You certainly put your mark on ECU modifying in the 480 world (and probaly even beyond).
EZK sucks anyway!

There's no more richmods... ever...?

Trying to work something out. Maybe if someone nearby wants to deal with the postage side, and bring the ECUs with a car to test them in. I'll happily do that. I can make some time every other weekend to do it.
I can still do super mods I guess. I know where to obtain all the parts, except turbo adapters. I know people are running this mod with the standard turbo, but it realy isn't worth it without a bigger turbo. I'll need the actual car for this anyway.
Ill have to sort them out some money for the time etc, price may go up a tiny bit. But not much.
Hows that sound?

So if i said send the ecu's to me, and i pop down say once a month with the 440 turbo, would that work? dont think your more than a 45 min drive from me rich? and as for payment for time, a richmod sounds good! lol
