Rod,

When I spoke to Dynatek prior to having Keith order the system for my engine, I was told about the self learning ECU that made corrections itself, and I felt that I was getting that ECU with my system (see past posts). I did not know I could get a FAST ECU at the time, but I would have gone with what Dynatek recommended anyway since I wanted them to be responsible.

However while tuning the car it became apparent that the ECU was not changing anything on it's own. When we asked Dynatek we were told that the self learning ECU had problems, and this ECU was better. When Tom from APE came out and performed the tune (Dynatek covered his trip completely) he said that he was the one making the wiring harnesses for Dynatek, and he (they) had no trouble supplying a harness for a FAST ECU.

Knowing what I know NOW, I would opt for the FAST ECU, or another more common ECU.

The "Blue" ECU is a Dynatek unit, as is the software.

Eric
