ECU replacement
Hi
I have bought a Z4 ECU from a 1996 WRX to fit to my MY96 Turbo 2000.
Having never fitted one to a Scooby before, I want to check a few things before I do.
1) It the ECU located behind the glovebox on mine?
2) It teh replacement a simple unplug mine and plug in the Z4? or wil I need to do anything else?
3) Does mine have the same injectors? I have asked before but not have a 100% confirmed answer?
Thanks in advance!

1: No, passenger footwell under the carpet there is a kick plate it's under that (unless there is where you meant?)
2: Yes but i do believe a couple of the pinouts are different (crank and cam sensor iirc) but not sure.
3: Yes
Personally i think you would be better off with a Polarperformance chip,although generic it will give you more power (as i guess that's what you are looking for) or an ESL daughterboard (although this is about £500 fitted and mapped)

Speed limiter may be an issue, I'm not sure if it has been chipped or not tbh!
I'd love a Polar Performance chip, but can't find one!!
