Anyone fancy challenging them - rolling road test, before and after, you provide the car, they provide the chip and pay for the 'road?

When you could buy an over priced one!

Admittedly there aint much information with it, and that's whats worth the money.

On the other hand, what is the true value of the ECU map it's self?

Once you've figured out what it should be, and whacked it into a device worth 1.50 max, the real value is the time and effort involved in setting it up.

If it's an off the shelf map, then surely they make thousands of them. If it cost £1000 pounds to setup the map, then it's worth £2.50 at most.

If I knew the provenance of the map, I'd not hesitate to pay £2.50 for it. On the other hand I don't, so I'd not bother, even if it was free.
