Salvage yards usually give you some type of limited warranty. I bought my first ISF steering ecu (from a 2010 ISF) from a salvage yard and it worked fine. They are built very durable and can withstand punishment. Inspect it to make sure there isn't any physical damage. If not, it should be fine. If it's busted up, don't buy it

My point is this; although no one has had a failure, eBay purchases come with risk just like buying a used car that there could be a latent failure induced to the EPS unit (or anything else electronic) by careless people.
FWIW my 041 unit is in its 3 vehicle.

ok wife says we dont need it and she likes the car asis
The known risk is some idiot in the past doing a repair or battery swap, connects the battery leads backwards. One of the primary fuses to take a hit is the EPS ECU 80 AMP FUSE. What this says about Yoda engineering is you can't have steering assist failure and cause a wreck killing people as it it highly frowned upon so they protected the *#*# out of the EPS ECU. As such, they placed protective fast acting high amperage reverse polarity diode in the device to protect it from STUPID mindless acts of failed battery installs.

If you want more stability and less nannies as you like to push it, play, then toggle on ECT. It will firm up the transient road inputs that try to move the car and just let you do your thing. As stated by many before me, it does offer a greater range freedom to play while also reducing concerns/inspiring confidence, as if everything is OK, which it is...
If you are inspired by driving, get the 89650-53041 IS-F EPS unit.

I have not confirmed this, but I don't think the F-Sport EPS ECU may work for him. I read in the notes that F-Sport suspension is required for that ecu. He has a 2006
