1.8t conversion. suspension and other bits

[Dan_GTi8v]

Im not worried about knock sensors, im looking at other options simply because they are a lot cheaper £1000 for a loom ecu and a remap seems a bit steep, fair enough they do the loom which probably takes time, but how hard is a bit of rewiring
I just need to look more into the other bits and pieces like map sensors etc to see what I need if I do it with a 1.8t ecu

Thinking I may go for a revo remap on a standard ecu now.
Can I use any 1.8t ecu or does it need to be from an AUM (or whatever engine I go for)?

Gonna get me a second hand loom from ebay and have a go at the wiring and work out what I need, am I right in thinking everything I need will be either on the new loom or my mk3 one and its just a case of splicing it together?

£350+vat for a stage 2 remap and imob defeat, so I think I just need a map sensor and a 4 bar fuel regulator. sound like a plan?

Do I need any kind of special map sensor? Just curious as a standard 1.8t is around £30 off ebay but the qpeng one is £60+vat

You need the ecu and loom that matches your engine or try and get it with the engine.

got the loom but no ecu, was just curious as its gonna be remapped didnt know if this changed things

Do you know about map sensors? is one 3 bar map sensor the same as the next one? not sure why the qpeng one is over twice as much

I believe a standard map sensor will be ok.

OK cheers for the advice took a bit of convincing but qpeng can keep their management and i'll keep my £1000

It is your conversion but it is the path I would take.

[Dan_GTi8v]

tbh its the way i'd prefer to do it, I just couldnt find much info about it. I found quite a few threads from other people wanting to do it here and on other forums, but the answers were all 'go qpeng'

What does that tell you?
