Long story short I picked up a gt28rs mk4 1.8t, Owner stated he burned through the 02 sensor wires and fried the ecu. Which Connecting another ecu proved to be true. Now there was a tune on the ECU for 550cc injectors and vr6 maf. Would I still be able to pull that file off the ecu to put onto the spare ecu I have? I am having issues getting the fried ecu into boot mode which I wanted to try to do before I used it on my spare.

Yes you can. But u ll have to copy eeprom if u want immo on. Another thing is that i had the same thing happen to my ecu and the fix was puting a new lambda driver IC i found from another ecu. If u can find ur IC it is 5min soldering.

No, the ECU is fried.  Could always desolder the chip and attempt to recover that way.  But if it's just a tune with 550cc injectors and a 3" MAF I'd just be starting with the ORI and tuning that.  It'll take you longer to swap chips and hope it works than copy data from a 3" file and change KRKTE and TVUB.
