Hi, a workshop is changing the engine in my st205, and they have given me an offer to change the ecu to a haltech stand-alone and remap it for a total of about 900£ extra. Do you think this will be worth it? They will be putting in a Spec stage 3+ clutch while they're at it.

I have been working on this myself for a while now, and the low end is starting to behave proper good. In a few days i will take it on a dyno, and have real professionals tune the ignition timing. I will be posting details on that in my new project-thread.
