That's about right. It's much different and waaaaay more advanced than the xede. waaaaaaay....
That said it's way more expensive too- 3 grand or so...
The EFI runs *all* engine functions from start-up to shut down. The Lotus ECU controls the dash, and supplies power to the fuel pump- That's it. The hardcore will eliminate the factory wiring harness and Lotus dash to really clean things up...hmmm
In the first couple days, learning the ins and outs of this system is like drinking water from a fire hose
. After that initial curve, things start to make sense though and the fun begins
...
I'll keep posting as things come up...
Best,
Phil
