      I've got my ECU back from Paul at S2 Central and I'm well chuffed... Here's the PM I just sent him.

      Thanks for your help. My S2 is now much more even in its delivery of power across the rev range. It used to be quite aggresive between 3 and 4.5k and then drop off noticeably. Now it just pulls and pulls with very little input from the throttle pedal right round to 7k.

      Am I imagining it or is the exhaust noise a little different too? I may be going mad, deaf or both but I'm sure it sings a little more sweetly. It's got more of that lovely 5-pot burble.

      I just love the torque of the engine. What was the thinking in putting chips from the AAN engine into that ECU? (That's what Paul found in the ECU when he had a closer look). I'd love to hear more about your findings.

      Many thanks once again from a very happy customer.

        The additional advance gives that edge to the exhaust note - well noticed by the way.

            That sounds like a much better option than Digitec chips IMHO.
