The old ones can be chipped on the bench, or they used to be, im not sure if there is a lead out to do them now?

what was said its not possible to reflash your ecu
twin chip, physical chip will be required

is this anything you can help with??

 

[Rick @ Unicorn Motor Dev.]

lol, of course they can be remapped, it just means the chip has to be desoldered in worse case. They can often still be flashed with some wiring mods.

[Broken Byzan]

MPPS and a wiring mod can make some of these units flashable, but not OBD readable.

Worst case, it's just a physical chip job

 

[John Spooner]

can anyone advise the best thing to do? i a total newb at this and dont fully understand it all lol, what the best thing to do and possibly the person/ company that could get the work that need doing done, i do appreciate the help guys thanks

 

[aragorn]

Badger5 or Rick above should be able to sort you out.

You dont say where your located...

 

[badger5]

nope. not something I do I'm afraid

 

[A3 Oly]

I think Rtech can sort also more bhp do a postal remap service but dont know what they are like

 

[Rick @ Unicorn Motor Dev.]

John, we can do this for you, no problem - where are you based?

oh nice im in devon mate, how would u do it? through obd or on the bench? if so i could send you my ecu if it works that way? price?
thanks

Mines a 1.8t 1997 and mines mapped. He just changed the chip

 

[John Spooner]

what sorta power are you running now? u happy with it?

 

[Prawn]

as said above, Rtech do this all the time, that's where I'd be going for this kind of work on an ME3.X ecu like yours.

Some companies will tell you it's not possible to map at all though, which simply means, they can't do it but they're not decent enough to tell you that others can.

 

[Rick @ Unicorn Motor Dev.]

I'm near Manchester, so a long way away. You'd have to post it to myself or Nick @ R-Tech, and we can sort you out.

price?? and would it be a revo software map??

 

[Rick @ Unicorn Motor Dev.]

John,

No, it won't be Revo. Nick and I both use our own software, so we aren't handicapped to anyone.

would it still as aggressive a revo map etc? estimated gains for stock setup agu?

 

[Rick @ Unicorn Motor Dev.]

You can have it as aggressive or as mild as you like. Just a K03 on these so your realistically not going to see much over 190.

well rtech are saying they dont know if they can do it and they would need the car for a couple of days!! rick is saying he can do it:thumbsup: and volkscraft down my neck of the wood are saying that it could be possible to flash it, if not then it will go on the bench and if that doesnt work an ecu swap might be possible??? what a pain in the *** lol

 

[John Spooner]

ok just spoken to Revo and they told me that i can replace my Bosch 06a906018d with a 06a906018r it should work and the new ecu would adapt to the car, also i would have to get my imobilizer realigned with vag-com and then it will be able to take a remap via obd"!! has anyone on here done this before???

Not a problem doing your ecu at all dude, its just we was not willing to do your ecu remap via the post, you would need to book in to the workshop for a 9am session to have your car checked out and mapped on the dyno.
