Deffo seems to be the case amonst the majority, but i did run one for several years with no issues, & the bottom end only went when i got the Simtek fitted,  But saying that i have read of loads of stories of motors going pop within weeks of fitting a Mines ecu. | |

| Like Andy said, they are mapped for higher octane fuel but in Japan they didn't get 100 octane fuel until around 2000 so the early ones arnt as bad- although you definately need to run V Power plus octane booster with it. We tested one in the rally car and it ran really sweet, but was getting around 5mpg when driven hard on a stage!!!! | |
