View Full Version : help needed please fatty86 15 May 2008, 21:28 help needed please scooby palls. ive bought a chip for the scooby and ent sure where to find the ecu :confused: so i can plug it in and see if it actually works:lol1: can any body help please "Taylor" 15 May 2008, 21:34 The ECU is located in the passenger footwell. Pull up the carpet and there will be a metal heel plate held in place by four (i think) screws, unscrew and lift the metal plate off and the ECU is underneath, usually with a clear piece of plastic over it. :) Richy B 15 May 2008, 21:44 As for "chipping" the ECU, I would stay well clear... Most chips just fool the ECU and if the engine does go bang, well lets just say they cost a pretty penny to put right (I talk from experience)... :Whatever_ You are much better off having a proper remap, more expensive I know but this is the only way to ensure it will run right... :thumb: evil.soup 15 May 2008, 21:47 What he said, it could be more trouble than its worth, sorry mate:( "Taylor" 15 May 2008, 21:50 Totally agree with the boys above...steer well clear of off the shelf chips. :nono: Remappable ECU's are the way forward. You may save a couple of quid with a chip, but it'll cost you a few thousand when the engine goes bang. greenperil 15 May 2008, 22:01 top advice from the scooby gang it aint simple plug and play needs mapping it only end in costing £££££s in a rebuild :cry: . how are you taylor is lee going to japfest :thumb: fatty86 15 May 2008, 23:56 Genuine Subaru Impreza ECU Performance Mod Chip Brand new Guaranteed.
