	Anyone have a spare ECU? « on: September 19, 2010, 03:19:14 AM »

The UK spec C box I have is proving very difficult to work with Sad

Does anyone have an M or G box they could sell me so i can finally start tuning?

Thanks, Rick

Good luck... I have been scouring for a while, and it seems like the best bet is www.car-part.com

Just a fair warning: There's a guy on ebay selling ECU's... but he's actually selling resumably stolen GIAC flashes - the wording of the auction makes it sound like a "customer car" was reverted to stock and they have this flashed box available. But then he requires you to send in your current ECU or pay a core charge - and then he uses the same pictures across multiple part numbers M, L, H, etc with multiple listings over time... he sure has a lot of customers turning in flashed ECU's and going back to stock...

I find used ECUs on Audizine, AudiWorld, or QuattroWorld, and sometimes on eBay. You can also try online junk yards like Shokan.

you'll have to swap maf calibrations and delete two O2 sensors, as a minimum. Should be easy enough.

in some ecu You must reconnect one timing valve because in C box both are connecting together.

Hi, can you clarify what you mean by the above? My car is a C box, and I have managed to find an H box, which I will probably reflash to a G box. What do you mean by timing valve?

Thanks for the info, I understand now. I will go through the wiring diagram to check how the components differ.
