  • ECU

    I own an Australian delivered 2004 mk4 golf Gti 1.8t and am looking for a stage 2 ecu what I want to know is if I can run my car on a ”06A 906 032 kc made in Mexico“ ie. this (VW MK4 Golf Jetta GTI 06A906032 1.8t Stage 2 tuned ECU+ Immo + 2Step+SAI+CAT DEL | eBay) even though mine comes with a “06A 906 018 CH made in Germany” I’m told it’s plug and play but I want to make sure

    Different engine code therefore won't work. AGU engine code runs drve by cable and every other 1.8t 20v runs drive by wire.

      That's not 100% true, I actually swapped in an AQ ecu from an DBC Audi A3 1.8t and it ran fine.

      There are one thing you need to check with the ecu your buying. ETKA.

      Il but since they mention 2 step and launch control dubster would assume right and it would be from a DBW car.

      I'll check quickly for you anyway on etka.

        On this occasion it's completely wrong

        The KC ecu comes from a 2003 Mexican VW beetle with a 6 speed auto hahaha

        BDC reference is a 2ltr engine aswell...

        I dunno what's going on here.

          Really? I bought an AQ stage 3 ecu from Lito with his turbo and it ran like **** with my 1.8t. Turns out my didn't have cruise but the ecu was meant for a car with cruise so Im assuming because mine was a converted 1.8t that was the issue

            No you have it round the wrong way.

            The 06A 906 018 AQ ecu does NOT have cruise control. But it is an AGU ecu from an A3.

            As for your troubles with the ecu, was it a JBS Custom Code stage 3 tune from Gavin?

            Strange you had such bad luck with it. Should have worked just fine if you were using all the similar mods Lito had.

              Unrelated question, but how do you get a copy / access to ETKA? Been looking for a while

                  So would you have any idea where I could find a stage 2 018ch m3.8.3 ecu?

                    You mean besides having a legitimate job in the spare parts department of VW/Audi?

                    There are hacked copies of etka 7 and 8 available on the net. Just do a search, you will find it fairly easy.

                    There are also online versions of etka.

                      More information required.... What do you mean find? Do you want to flash your existing ecu?

                      Stage 2 K03? What turbo?

                        Yeah so k03 turbo and I’d preferably have the flashed one sent too me and keep the factory one. I’m based in Sydney Australia but I don’t mind working with a company overseas as I know it’s cheaper and are more of an abundance of tuners.

                          Also If I put a boost controller on the pressurised line before n75 valve effectively restricting how much boost it sees I get allowing me to run higher pressures so it won’t put me into limp home mode. what is a safe range of psi I can run before the factory ecu starts to lack the capability to compensate for leaning out?
