    Default ECU swap. – 05-03-2012,06:17 PM
    Next door but 1 to me has a 2001 1.8T it's the 150BHP like mine but has a cat back exhaust and remap. He has done his engine due to water pump going and not repairing it straight away (very silly boy) I'm gonna offer him my standard exhaust and some cash for his exhaust as he is gonna scrap the car I think.
    What I wondered is, if his ECU is remapped, would it work if I swapped mine for his? That way giving me a remapped ECU.
    1.8Turbo. Stage 1 Tuned 215bhp

    Another way is to swap ECU, instrument cluster and (key) transponders, as a package.
