    i wouldnt of gone with that ecu, a lads just been to mates rolling road after he'd been to alpha/aldon(whoever maps it and charging £300 a time) he had DTA fitted and gained nearly 30bhp iirc. as the timing was backed right off on the alpha set up.

    how much did you pay if dontmind asking?

    the lad went with the dta as its £300 a time to have aldon/alpha map the car, it works but i dont think it will get the best out of the motor though. but someone may know more about it,to give a much more detailed answer

    Re: weber alpha t/bs

    it should get the same results as any other ecu if mapped correctly. the downside is that only alpha dealers can access the software and apparently parts are hard work to source .

    Re: weber alpha t/bs

    These ECU's are excellent, the issue is finding someone who can map them is the only issue.... do your engine mods find someone goood and get it mapped once !!!! for a good map £300 is a good price no matter what ECU, it take no longer to map these than a DTA or any other ECU if a) you know what your doing and b) you have the right equipment to live map them..... enjoy

    I used one of these on my Raceline Duratec, was a good ECU as long as you get it mapped. The other option is if you can get a replacement eprom chip (the one with the white sticker in the picture above) with the correct map from somewhere. Raceline for example had a supply of these to suit their various Duratec and Zetec engine specs

    There must be someone that has found an unofficial way of programming these?

    Re: weber alpha t/bs

    clint dont suppose you could help with this going through the bits today and noticed i dont have the air temp sensor that attaches to the filter base plate if that makes sense?? dont suppose you have any pics around showing this,also if i change the backplate for a pipercross one(as space tight for weber filters) where would the sensor go to cheers.
