OK, Your right, microtech do not support the MT series ECU's anymore as far as mods and upgrades.
They may repair them but using second hand parts if they have them.
It is crucial that the ECU comes off a CA18, an SR20, an FJ20 or an E15et.
There are only slight config differences between these engines.
If the ecu is off an RB or a VG, I cant say for certyain that you can configure it to work on the ET.
if its off anything other than a 4 cyl Nissan then leave it alone as you will have to unload another $130 just to have it configged...if at all they config it at all!
Microtech will re-configure them to suit different cars as this is done at firmware level but they charge an arm and a leg for this.
As far as loading a tune is concerned, they might just load a generic turbo 4 cylinder tune.
You may find this artical of use.

Search is a wonderful function eh?
Now, $500 is too much to pay for an old MT. Id hesitate to pay that for an LT ecu...even with a handset and a dressed loom. Add a reconfig (if its off something other than a 4 cyl Nissan) and your talking closer to $700.
i just bought another Adaptronic 420C with a cut loom and MAP sensor which incorporates, Adaptive full time closed loop VE or time based tuning (ignition and fuel) launch control, traction control, thru the gears closed loop boost control, anti-lag, Fly-by-wire throttle control. knock control, flat shifting.....shall I go on????? for $650 and I paid a premuim price.... you still want to unload $500 on an agricultural old ECU with just a single Aux output......................?
The EMS can be easily configured to suit any car and is a superior ECU in most ways but they do have a funky tuning technique and youll need to find a tuner who understands this.
Id pay no more than 300 for the Microtech and it better have a handpiece and at least a cut loom/plugs for that.
