Hi, a workshop is changing the engine in my st205, and they have given me an offer to change the ecu to a haltech stand-alone and remap it for a total of about 900£ extra. Do you think this will be worth it? They will be putting in a Spec stage 3+ clutch while they're at it.

having a standalone Ecu is only worthwhile if you have someone good to map it, I can see pros and cons in the standalone Ecu it can be better customised to your car and fuel available to it and add extra features like launch control.. i have seen claims of better fuel mpg but alot of this depends on the mapper. the standalone ecu will not be as variable/smooth under certain conditions unless mapped to it i.e running in extreme atmosphere temperatures i have heard of cases when temps drop to extreme colds cars wont run due to the map not being able to compensate for this but would run with stock ecu. id do alot of research and look at your needs..
