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???

I could see that b/c Cali cars were always specific tuned for emissions....
I still dont know if my eprom is for an auto/year etc, I just made sure the ecu was 91+ before I bought it.... I figured that since my custom chip is burned for the larger injectors anyway, it wouldnt make a difference that an auto ecu is set for 390's or whatnot -------------------- -Josh
