Hey guys, I was reading a few threads on ecu's and engine number, about what computer should be with what engine and I thought I should check mine out. I just bought a second hand auto VL calais turbo and checked the engine number, it ends with A8, so yeah its a turbo engine. So I checked the computer, and I read that it should be 3TA on a yellow label, but it has ECCS on a blue label. Can anyone clear this up for me, is it a turbo computer? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

This probably would be the reason why it was ruuning like a hairy dog when the bloke I bought it off had it, because there was no turbo in it, but had a turbo computer. I have bought one now though and will chuck it in when I fix up a few dings.
