Anyone care to help me out on how to open the black box ecu? I’ve looked and found one link but it just leads to “page not found” any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
Solution
Remove the metal bracket, it slides out from the sides. Then there's four clips, two on top and two on the bottom. There's a typical "penny" method where you pry up and insert pennies between the plugs section and the outer cover to hold the clips open. Then use another tool to pry the ECU out of the cover, it'll slide right out.

+ and while you have it out, you should take pictures of the model numbers and stuff, so if you decide to tune the blackbox you'll know which version it is and won't have to redo this process like I did
