You can get a B5.5 Passat ecu and use that in it's place. They are 30-40 bucks on ebay.

For instance:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/03-05-VW-PASSAT-1-8T-ENGINE-COMPUTER-MODULE-ECM-4B0-906-018-DA-/221856447459?hash=item33a7acbbe3&vxp=mtr

would be perfect.

How can I tell which ECUs are compatible? I could flash a file for my stock ECU onto the suggested one with no issue?

Trial and error I guess. Or just ask me. I know most of what will, and will not work as of now.

Unfortunately, there is no centralized location to look this up in..

maybe you can convince dd to start a spreadsheet or db of some sort Smiley

If you can give me the info, I can definitely find a way to create a searchable database that everyone can use for cross referencing that. I feel like the lists are huge though and typing all of it out to send to me would be a pain in the butt

It's a bit more difficult than that, there are so many 1.8t variations out there.

Some are crossflashable but need a matching eeprom, etc.

Best bet, compare the bootrom, and try it.

Side note:

I don't condone crossflashing files for tuning purposes. I always use the correct file for the car, and I think everyone here should as well.
