I4 tuning box development - who wants one?

[Lotus F1]

As far as I know, there are two locks for the ecu. One from the Mercedes as standard to prevent overall attempt (this one has been cracked), and one from Mercedes to prevent Lotus from touching its system and where the problem is.

I thought Lotus had access to specifically tune it to the Emira's needs

From what I remember, the tuning was done by proxy. Only Mercedes had access and Lotus fed them their requirements. Might explain why it took so long to fix the early DCT shift issues and also the reverse gear shift delay?

However, I echo the voices here. Please encourage your tuner to keep the faith!

Probably a stupid question, but can the Lotus ECU be switched for the A45s ECU?

No way, for sure. There is so much an ECU controls that the hardware and software wouldn't even know how to talk to each other from the different cars
