  Top of Page

ok guys so i been lookin into goin single turbo for a while now. i have everything organised except for the ecu i am totally stumped on wat to do i have been told so many different things. i no you cant remap the gen 2 so i was wondering wat you guys would suggest either piggy back full aftermarket (eg. microtech haltech) or if i should wire in like a v4 sti ecu. all opinions and advice are welcome and would be much appreciated

You might be best asking someone like AL from AMAuto for a hand with a question like this. He is the loom wizard.

You can do either aftermarket or factory ecu.
I repin the ecu plug to run single turbo ecus. You need to use a V3/4 ecu if you retain the auto trans. If you want to go manual you can use an earlier ecu. If you want to go manual and single turbo I would recommend you buy a half cut and do it all at once.

Cheap would be 93-6 WRX, fast would be V3/4 STi.

Go see chiptorque, they did a Ezyflash for me and it was perfect (1st time they had done it, im presuming they saved a file).  I turned to autronic to get a more detailed tune and delete the air flow meter.

The gen 2 ECU can't be flashed. They would have to replace his ECU if he wanted it done there.

Or there is this thread from last sunday.

Yes you can rewire the ecu for a V3/4 ecu, I have done it many times. But if you want to be able to tune the ecu as well then you should just get an aftermarket ecu wired in. If it is done correctly the auto computer will be happy. If it is done by a chimp you will have no end of problems.
