Title: auq ecu on aum?
Post by: nath20vt on 18 June 2012, 23:21

hi everyone, heard a few times you can run a auq ecu on a aum engine for the extra 30 horses out of the box, just want to no how true this is as need a new ecu so if its true will be purchasing the auq one.

for all the time and hassle just get your AUM remapped...

hmm wont be much hassle really if its just a case of getting the immobiliser removed and plugging it in?

unless you can pick up an AUQ ecu for mega cheap would be more worth while having a remap and 20ish more horses.

fairly sure its just a case of sorting the immobilizer either removing or adapting to work with current speedo cluster & keys.

hi mate thing is a bought a conversion and me bein a fool never checked the ecu number, when i came to fit it its a ecu off a 1.8 non turbo and the fella who sold me the conversion is being a right pr**k about it all saying im trying to give him my old ecu ect ect when he genuinly gave me the wrong one, so im going to have to buy a aum ecu either way so just thought i may aswell buy the auq one and have the extra 30 horses already there as i will be keeping it standard for a while before i get it remapped ect, so would i be able to programme a auq into my clocks and key and everything? was goin to just get the immob removed but if i can get it set up properly with immob working id much rather do that

Depends, you looking at getting a map further down the line?

If so go which ever one is cheaper. I believe they are the same ECU (bosch 7.5), but don't take my word for it, during the span of the AGU there was like 12 revisions  :grin:

I asked this a little while ago and the ecu is still available to me surelly it would just be a case of matching it up with the clocks and keys ?

i will be getting it mapped eventually but wont be for a couple of months or so, im the same i no someone who can remove the immob for me but id much rather have it matched into to clocks key ect so the immob still works

Just run it on a AUM ecu much less hassle.
