I'm sure the ecu is in side the near side rear quarter panel.. I may be wrong but 90% sure

Failing this, put it all in the dustbin and do a manual conversion ! Best thing I ever done to 325 convertible and made it a totally different car to drive. Plenty of info on the wiki here for the conversion , if you do it try and get a sports ratio box for it.

ECU goes in the rear access panel in the boot, from what I remember passenger side.

That's correct. Although there is another box of tricks somewhere, I haven't figured out where yet though !
