Sti 555 ECU, Different To An STi ECU?
Odd question sorry! A mate of mine who runs a local garage has an V2 STi 555 up for sale and just noticed some 'kind person' has just relieved him of the ECU from it
I'm confident a standard STi ECU will be fine, am i correct as i don't want him finally selling the car to blow up a few miles later
Dave.
Next question....does anyone have something suitable he can buy?

Hi Merv, it was stolen on Friday night, he's got CCTV but i don't think the quality of the film was that great
The upside was that it was a 'decent thief' who did unplug all the wires rather than cut them so that's a bonus!
The garage is KJM in Penpedairheol and the owners name is Kevin, if anyone were to know the 2 thieves i'm very sure he'd be only too keen to reward them in a very discreet maner

W@nkers!! Can't leave anything alone these days! Ask around for anyone who has gone to garage with a fluffed ECU! They're specialist cars so may have gone to a specialist garage! But judging on the fact they've had to steal an ECU probably not!! scum bags mate!!
I've got a V5 ECU but it won't fit

Very true matey! The mad thing is they are not expensive nor difficult to obtain, there's nothing worse than someone taking your stuff
I'l have a look around for one on ebay for him to help out

Didn't think they'd be overly expensive, just goes to show the level some people will drop to just to save £50 Another lad down in the next village had his boot spoiler stolen the same night, i'm just glad i can lock away my cars in my secure unit!

Hi mate
Sorry to hear of your mates loss/theft, scumbags! hope they didnt damage the car getting in.
The V2 STI 555 has a specific ECU, the code on the cover of it is 6K, it is a FOUR plug ecu!! the actual map on this ecu is quite specific for this model too, personally i wouldnt advise buying any old 4 plug ecu as your'e likely to cook the engine.
I have seen one of these on ebay recently, £200
Hope this helps
Andy
