I came very close to buying an A610 but after working on a couple of Venturis, there really was no comparison in simple joy of ownership (for me).
PS thanks for the Chargecooler and injectors, arrived today.

ECU - yes, a re-mapped Renix unit, not completely bespoke. I know the temp sensor and TPS are different from the A610 for eg, and the warm-up behaviour is different, not to mention the different performance figures,
The 260's ECU is very definitely bespoke.

It's got the serial connector on the front and the engine behaves quite differently - for example the idle runs open loop all the time, and there's a little hole in it through which you can twiddle a pot to set the idle speed. At a very basic level, the box is black.
