CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF IT IS O.K TO DO A STRAIGHT SWOP WITH A STANDARD ECU FROM A U.K TURBO 2000 MY00 WITH A PPP ECU FROM A MY99 ??? AND ALSO MAF SENSOR FOR THE MY00 WITH A GREEN DOT ON MORE STABLE WITH A INDUCTION KIT AND MORE ROBUST ??? AND WHERE IS THE GREEN DOT ON IT ??? ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED ( THANKS )

 

ecu is a straght swap.... any 'new' maf should be the better one....

 

HI,

in terms of fitting the ECU is a straight swap, but you may have to have your keys recoded for the immobiliser. If you swap the ECU's over and the car cuts out after a few seconds you will need to take the car, ECU and keys to a dealer to have it recoded.

I swapped for a PPP ECU in mine and the dealer charged me £18 to recode the keys

cheers

the 99's and my00's are a straight swap, no messing with keys!!!!
Trust me, I have done it!!! the 98's, and later cars may be different, but those mentioned are easy!!

 

Would you not have to change the restrictor on the wastegate control? I know the later cars use a different size one to change the way the boost is controlled.

 

was the question not about the ecu???

What else may be required is up to the person buying/fitting it....

 

Yes but at least the person buying or fitting it or even selling it has a little more information.

Just trying to be helpful
