cdm Member 886 Member For: 22y 2m 15d Posted 03/05/03 02:20 AM Author Share Posted 03/05/03 02:20 AM Where exactly is the ECU for this car? I beleive the Unichip is just a piggy back setup, correct? I heard it was in the side pillar, is this true? If so, I wonder how easy it would be to just plug in or remove at will....say, whenever your in for a service?

Don't know about a piggy-back setup, I thought the ecu was the alloy box on the passenger side of the engine bay I was aslo told it is set in resin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as far as I know, most mods require work to the ECU in order to bypass all the factory settings to prevent mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tailshaft won't be an issue. CV on rear of shaft will probably present vibration problems once it suffers wear. Diff clunk is very annoying, but is not a reliability issue. Half shafts shouldn't be a problem. Clutch is a bit light on, but a properly constructed HD replacement will fix that. Have I forgotten anything? Oh yes, gearbox. Well Mum always said if you can't say something nice about something........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my ute does when applying power is to slew down the road sideways shredding expensive rubber in the process. I have never not got any axle tramp whatsoever.

Unigroup Member 25 Member For: 21y 8m 25d Location: Sydney Posted 08/05/03 05:57 AM Share Posted 08/05/03 05:57 AM We are about to test another car. This time with a 3 inch exhaust, larger injectors in the original place and a TSI ecu wired in.We’ll put enough boost in it to test out the limit of the fuel pump and turbo compressor housing. Should be fun P.S the TSI is undetectable by the factory ECU. Only it’s wiring loom can give the game away. But a plug in version might be developed if the demand is great enough.
