it is a white plug that may be tied up under the dash, is very close to the green connectors usually. I flashed mine with a ppp image last week and ran some logs all working fine, once you find the block all will work fine, but make sure you backup your own image before messing

Also when you say u ran some longs what do you actually mean...
are you making sure that no errors appear on any of the sensors from running the new map.?

I would do a little reading on openecu.org before you do anything as is expensive if you mess up, not many maps about for UK cars so you will have to alter yourself, but you may find your ppp ecu locked as later ecutek are locked from ecu flash. and the logs are to check boost temperature and mixture etc. but if you want to make big changes you need a wideband sensor to check fueling, I just did a standard ppp mechanically and added a standard ppp map, this is a known quantity but if you are unsure about tuning then get it done properly don't waste your time trying it yourself as it could be an expensive learning curve
