The ecu is in the passenger foot well. Its behind the plastic panel with a couple of push rivots and pulls off towards the seat. Should say on the back !!

Yeah it was bloody standard, which is a slight worry as I also have 5" de-cat exhaust, twin HKS induction and it will boost to initially 1.2bar on extreme acceleration, which luckily is not very often.  But it does settle down to .09 after about 3-4 seconds.
But it is running richer than JK Rowling in the London Marathon, so perhaps not to much danger as I do drive like my grannie.

I will be booking it in at WGT end of April hopefully to go the A[exi route anyway :thumb:

A boost controller would be a good idea! :)
