Thought I'd ask the community before purchasing new.

Looking for an ostrich 2.0 to fit in an m44.

Also has anyone tried the moates 'demon 2'?

Yes.

Great tuning tool, not to be used long term as the sockets will eventually fail destroying the ECU.

I'd recommend using one for tuning, and another unmodified one to bench flash after you get the maps perfect.

I have a spare if your interested

    Please elaborate on the failure of the sockets?

    How much you chasing for the 2.0?

    The vibration from daily driving eventually causes the socketed eeprom interface to fail, I've had multiple ECUs crap the bed due to this.

    Have you seen any with the direct soldered approach have any issues? I didn't like the look from the m44 wiki, was pretty messy....

    I have also tried that, it was an absolute nightmare.
