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, do you know anything about the various differences between FAST, Haltech or Electromotive? Could you change out the ECU to one of these instead or is that like starting from ground zero again.
