Hi, I'm about to start an engine conversion by putting a BA series 1 Barra turbo engine into my Maverick.

Since it's going into an old Maverick I won't be needing the ABS, guage cluster, PATS & other control units etc.

I'm after some suggestions for what would be the best/ most cost effective way to deal with the ECU.

Sould I pay someone to do the work, or buy a hand held device (SCT type) and do it myself?

I was thinking maybe I should get a more torquey tune, or should I just stick with the stock tune and delete the bits I don't need (PATS, ABS, etc)

And what sort of cost should I expect?

Thanks in advance...

Had my computer sent to BPT Motorsport in Perth, they sent it back as a stand alone unit still with same tune, but all security etc turned off, car does everything it should

Adaptronic have a great computer

I have one in my celica and I wish I could put one in my falcon

Set up some basic parameters and it'll tune itself almost.

It's a really good computer and software that accompanies it
