micky, If I need to I'll post a big write up in the GB thread for those that need it.

It's very simple. a 10mm ratchet/socket is all that needed and some heavy duty gloves to keep you from cutting off your fingers.

I won't have any problems replacing the ECU as long as I know where it is. After searching for a little while, some say it's under the carpet on the passenger side, some said it's under the driver's seat, and one guy said it's in the engine bay near the battery. Where exactly is the ECU located? I would like to know for sure before I start lifting carpet.

Under the carpet forward of the passenger footwell.

Remove the most forward plastic part of the center console on the left side of the passenger footwell, peel back the carpet, and the ECU is under a metal plate iirc.

Bump for a progress report.

Roddimus Prime March-27th-2007 08:57 PM

nothing to report yet. The hardware is special order and hasn't come in yet.

On a similar note I need to get a confirmation from someone of the filename used on the MP3 ecu so I can verify it'll be one that Ill have access to. Anyone wanna work on this for me?

Will this only do full writes or are partial writes possible?

I wouldn't mind the fuel and timing curves, but I've got an auto :( Otherwise, you'd be able to count me in. Also, keep in mind that once you get this rolling you won't have a problem covering your upfront costs.

Roddimus Prime March-31st-2007 03:09 PM

all it can do is take the old map off and put the new map on. Sorry.

Next time I bet you'll buy a stick!
