Not sure if the venos can be thrown across, I've got no idea on any knowledge off the 1.8T engines and the head, blocks etc they are made from. If this was a polo 6n, I could have a field day as everything works with everything between the different engine codes and sizes, its like lego with a bit of maths.
He could block the VVT out with a resistor as R-Tech have suggested, but my knowledge is very little on these engines, especially when the 7.5 ECU confuses the hell out off me when looking for all the different maps and there locations.
thats what im trying to find out but im using my AUM coil packs which i dnt want to do....so i would need the agu loom.....if i put the AGU throttle body back on would i need a diff pedal box...?
Going by one of the ECU forums I use you have to use the DBW TB as you can't exclude the DBW cables.
