apparent ecu upgrade
hi all
iv been told by the man at scoobyclinic that my98 awd turbo has a apexi ecu,on checking this at home i found it looked the same as a standard one, apart from one wire coming out the largest side of the ecu with a female 3.5mm jack on the end
could any one explain what this could be for?is there a chance my standard ecu has something special inside?
also whats the best diagnostics equipment available,thats compatible with a 98 impreza turbo?(assuming the ecu hasnt come out of a refurbed stereo
)
thanks all for any info you might have.

sorry if I remember incorrect but your's was the standard yellow socketed 8S.
This is a different board within the original case.. I have not seen one like that tbh.. that is not a GEMs, Link or motec etc..
Very interested to see within the case..
