I might be wrong, but I think you can get a zone chip off ant, & just plug it into the 320 ecu & it'll all work fine... :thumb:

Pretty good, but on the flip side it's starting to get cold here, had a sh*t load of braai's, every oppertunity we got. Enjoying the sunshine while it's still hanging around, see you around.
