Hydra seemed promising, but there aren't any detailed information since it was first announced for their T/C kit.
I think that there is a drive by wire option for M400 from Motec.
The problem is who's willing to do it and how much it will cost to R&D such a product so that the end user price will remain reasonable.
Also most owners will want their AC, DCS or what ever electronic gadget is controlled from the factory ecu still working.

You can still leave your stock ecu in and have a/c p/s dsc. while the standalone will simply be put inside the cabin, or engine bay, and control the fuel and ignition.

I was looking into the m400, but after figuring everything out expense wise, it was too much.

I know when i would go WOT in cold weather, with just a 19, my ecu light would turn on, as well as the dsc, for over boost, so i would loose all that stuff. So i guess if you were to T/C or push the boost you wouldnt be able to have the featurs anyway... Unless you could erase the overboost warning.... hmmm that would be nice!
