If I was to decide to use an M series I think the M130 would be the best choice. The whole concept of the M series looks a little daunting so how would I go about working out what I need and the cost so I can pass this onto my customer?

M130 and either a GPA or GPR package, the GPR is the M1 equivalent of the the Advanced Functions option on the Gold Box ECU's and is only needed if you want to have ORB, launch control and other race use functions.

Launch control would be a nice gimmick feature for the owner but I doubt he would be able to make much use of it. The Gold box features I definitely want are
1) Single wideband lambda
2) The possibility of a second lambda sensor for post cat monitoring should legislation ever throw this in my direction.
3) The ability to control an EVAP solenoid, again should legislation throw that one at us in years to come
4) Knock sensing, but dual
5) DBW
6) Traction/launch control
7)Anti lag (he has supplied me with a rather silly size turbo that may need help!
8) Flat shift
9) Boost control
10) Possibly dual injections in the future but probably not.
11) EGT input
What has really pushed me from gold to black is my insistence of dual knock. Maybe I am being over protective but in the past I have lost pistons due to my own errors and owners doing daft things like driving a running in heavily modified engine at full tilt using 95RON fuel so it's peace of mind for me. Also I lost a piston on a rolling road once when the first M4 I ever did was being set up by the Motec dealer I had been advised to use as their stethoscope knock monitoring didn't pick it up. They were not interested in what had happened, leaving me to arrange a recovery and then rebuild the engine-once bitten...

I think I need to contact my Motec dealer and start getting prices.
