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???

This is all good info for the archive. Thanks guys.
I finally did get a eprom from jvb6806. The hunt is finally over!  It is already socketed and includes a chip. the chip is burned for 560cc injectors, 8k redline, and 6k rpm launch limiter, and fuel cutoff deleted. My setup has 550's but I figured I'd use the translator to do the final tuning. The 6K launch limiter is a little high, but I'll give it a try.
