Hi, i had asked the question in my build thread but figured it had more knowledgeable eyes on it here.

I am piecing together a turbo build for my 5.0l fox. I have found a used Pimpx v1.1 on kijiji for $400. Pics are below, does anything stand out that may be a problem for this application or look damaged? It was from 2017. Any additional jumpers needed or will this work as is?

Thanks

Correct, from what i found its batch-fire PiMPx. Any concerns with running batch-fire on a 5.0L turbo build? Can it be upgraded to sequential in the future?
Anything to look for in particular that would indicate failures buying it second hand?

I have never owned or used this system but looks like a good deal. Microsquirt with adapter harness would cost me about $800CAD landed in Canada (duties, tax, shipping, broker charge etc.) so $400 seemed good for this plug and play system...

No reason you couldn't make silly power with this. Batchfire vs sequential is more about idle quality and fuel economy
