Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] BEE-r ecu?how good are they?

yeah thats it,the guys only down the road,he said he'd fit it for me when i pick it up if i want but hes got a blitz ecu for sale as well which would probably be better in the long run as i guess more workshops will have the software to do work on the ecu if i need to in the future

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] BEE-r ecu?how good are they?

no,its the same company but a different part,ive seen those BEE R rev limiters on you tube,this is the actual ecu,its called BEE R POWER BUILDER,dont know anything about them tho so i'll probably go for somthing more well known like a blitz access
