Did you have to re-code your key to the new ECU? The loom and ECU I sourced has the steering column and key with it, which got me thinking......Originally posted by Lito View PostComment

Usually the foreign ecu needs to be coded to your car. And depending on what version of security you might need additional information. Let me know otherwise as I'm curious aswell.
Ross-Tech: VAG-COM: Immobilizer 2 ECU Swapping
Do you guys have a picture of the loom? Or where it might be in the engine bay? I can't really visualise where it goes.Comment

Well im running an immo defeat atm so i can worry about it later. Also means i can run my new cluster without the immoboliser shutting the car downOriginally posted by Sirocco20348 View Post
Thats a great thread and the first post gies throughthe harness and explains what everything does. Study that and the swap is a piece of cakeComment

I think it's because our agu ecus are a pain in the ass to tune. Lito is in the best situation now to try other mixtures.Originally posted by DAM GTi View Post
I'm not sure what happens when the methanol mixture runs out when your full throttle. I would assume it ends badly.
Maybe also e85 is readily accessible, this is seen as a more visible solution. (Not that it seems to popular in Australia with mk4s) Maybe Lito can be a pioneer.
Start a New thread for discussion I sayComment

you boys have more sway to get chit chat growing,ill let ya start up-guarantee to add my bit- like how much, when and gimme lol..
gav ecu we got aint up for the task?
and will it ping when out of mix-surely a guage must be available like a fuel cell uses and a sensor would ease it all back into norm..if not lets develop it and make money haha..sorry lito-im a thread rapist...gav dont go deleting me lol..15mins wasnt to much to ask-10s fine lol-having a laugh mate..anyhow lads-ive caught a great deal of proper info.straight up from you lot-real fast!
and jokes aside-thankyou-I realise time and development-trial and error costs.
pretty much vortex and youre lots threads keep my CC very unhappy!DEEP POCKETS NEEDEDComment

The problem with the me3. 8 is the maf max's out around 190 g/sec. With a 3" housing this roughly equates to 300hp. Above this the ecu is flying blind and that is not ideal haha.Originally posted by DAM GTi View Post
Water/meth injection is something id like to have a look into but the complexity/reliability is a bit off putting for me. A simple, single nozzle setup, pre intercooler spraying just water is an idea ive been toying with.Comment

So to update, I now have a base file Drivability is amazing, very smooth and quite peppy even off boost.
Spent the day setting up the laptop for logging, big thanks to Ian Gonzaga for the lend of his cable! Next steps will be to load an update and keep logging, very exited!!!Comment

All good! Glad it's getting put to good use!
and thank you for all the info/photos and chat about your setup!Comment

So its been a productive few weeks, wanted to burn it to the ground a couple of times there but thats nothing too out of the ordinary. I have been chasing a cold start driveability issue since before i even swapped ecus and it was getting worse as time went on. The car would miss and buck like a horse on cold starts and not really be smooth at all, almost like there was a big air leak somewhere but all my boost piping was solid, and leak free, was very fustrating. Well, my boost piping was solid but vaccuum piping not so much. Then I remember about the catch can I had been given by Gavin years ago... Relocated the ecu relay into the waterfall wiring cover thingy and said goodbye to vaccuum leaks forever. Only thing attatched to my TIP now is the n75 and the DV
Car drives like oem even from cold now, and pulls like a freight train!! Cant wait to pump more boost into her!
