Alright, I've been searching EBAY, etc for good deals on a EPROM ECU.
Have a few questions: Do you have to get a ECU for the same exact car? For example, mine's a 1G AWD 5 spd, will a 1G FWD 5sp work? AUTO ecu's won't work for manual cars, correct? -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???

An auto ECU will throw a code if it can't talk to an active TCU. It also has completely different fuel and timing maps due to the different injector and turbo sizes. Burning the a chip will help but won't get rid of all the issues. It is much less of a headache to use an ECU out of a manual for a manual car.
