ECU transfer

[BL33SU]

um, gpk just told me that it might take few hours for it to update wen i switch ecu's.. has any1 else heard that??
i only put it in for less than 5mins and went for a thrash and was stock.

How is the new ECU?

[Sleepy]

Interesting............lol....can anyone think why it boosts at 7psi on Rays and 15psi on mine???????

[gpk_gti]

sounds like there is other issues...

[Sleepy]

Does it feel like its any better when u did drive it or you just going by the gauge???

[BL33SU]

lol didnt feel a difference at all, even got a mate to drive it and was slow still.

[gpk_gti]

yee u'v told me like 1000times but been to lazy

First check the t-piece. look at the engine from the front of car and connect to the point closest to the fire wall. That made a big difference with mine.

Get seb to also tune your car to run a higher boost.

yep thats where its connected...
also boosting the max on our stock cars which is 11.5-12 with the mbc

[AGO41T]

i know your boosting the max so am I but you need to tune the engine to run that much boost or it lags.

jst thought of this now, could it be that my car doesnt read Flashed ECU's? the ecu isnt chipped, it's actualy flashed.
i'v always thought my car couldnt be flashed with software and had to be chipped.

[DubSteve]

Aren't yours chipped, ray bro you got some serious boost issues if thats the case, get them soughted out ASAP!

The ECU can be chipped or flashed. When chipped, an additional computer chip is soldered on the ECU. However, when flashed, the entire ECU program may be changed (no additional chip is installed) and if there is an aftermarket chip already on the ECU, the chip's program may also be changed...

[DubSteve]

Isn't only the newer VW's are flashed and mk4 and older are soldered on!

AFAIK, the B5 onwards Passat ECUs can be flashed...
