Dinan Elite - Who has installed themselves?

Ready to pull the trigger on the Dinan Elite for my Justa. Who here has installed this themselves? How difficult was it? Any issues once it was installed; codes thrown, car didnt act properly, etc...?

Im a pretty handy guy and install most anything myself, but when it comes to ECU's, I usually leave this up to the pro's. However, I've heard this can be done at home and is relatively easy.

Just want to make myself fully aware of what Im getting myself into.

I helped install one, very simple. Take your time and follow the instructions and you won't have an issue.

It took us about 35 mins, if that, and that was reading, learning and installing all in one shot.

Oh, nice. You have it for the best price I've seen so far, too. Thanks for the link.

It was easier than putting together IKEA furniture.

I'm anxious to hear how it does on the Justa. Good luck with it and enjoy, it really does make the S a lot more fun to drive.
