ECU MEGASQUIRT?

[wayedy]

Hi, i know we cant remap the standard ecu for the gti 8v, but is it possible to run a megasquirt ecu with custom map so we can see better performance gains?

If its an 8V, Don't bother 

P.S you cna however get chips from ebay which you solder in. Not tried it myself. But there are available.

Lol, I enjoy my 8V  , But its maybe coz i own a VR6 too

lol wish i had one of those   
i cant find anyone with a decent quote to do a conversion to a vr6 on my 8v,
im based in the midlands

be cheaper and easier to sell the 8v and buy a vr6 or 16v surely than doing the conversion? hunt for a seller that knows nothing about cars and lists as spares or repair. a small amount of work will get you a cheap un!

A standalone ecu can release more from most engines but for all that you can get more from sticking a standard ABF and ECU.
