What are suitable ECU boxes to convert 2000 A4 1.8T to wideband?

Would a 018CH work (have on hand)?

Original ECU was 4B0 906 018 AA, engine code AGU (Germany).

You can use alot of ecus. Depends on how far you would like to go.

8n0906018ch is BAM. You can switch of vvt, egt, and so on. This will work.

I use an LP ECU with cross-flashed HP file.

"how far": well, wideband O2, all tune outs (cat, egt, evap, sai, keep vvt?). Immo defeat.
For ralley cross car, totally stripped. 67mm compressor billet hybrid turbo. pump gas (regulations), 550cc, 3" maf.
Need to put a base tune on (with bench harness) before I ship to my brother (Germany).

I have a tune from a tuner here, made a long time ago for this purpose. But not sure if made for the 018CH, and it if has the correct parameters (see above).
Can I post the tune here and someone can check it?

LP as in 018 LP?

Are the 032 XX ECU strictly for transverse applications? For my TT225 upgrade to wideband, I have used 032 (Golf based) ecu.

4B0906018CH is the ecu that is most used on a4 and passat widenband, but any wideband 1.8t will work.
Also that turbo is huge for 550cc injectors

Thanks!

Can someone check if attached file is a suitable base for the wideband setup (018CH, 550cc EV14, 3" MAF, MAP?, all tune outs)?

Thanks. Is it a suitable file for an 018CH? Will try to flash today.
Is immo defeat needed to swap into the car (car is totally stripped, no cluster)?
