Default CH and M boxes are identical. The only difference is the soft coding between the two.
If you have an M box it is already flashed to the CH box soft coding if you have taken it to the dealer for any servicing.

Default Thanks I will, and I got my car back btw..
from Raymond AB (I posted awhile back about not having snow tires in MN...duh) I'll be posting some pics soon of my new S4 bumper and e-codes. I was hoping to make it to the Anderson Motorsports event but I didn't get the car until Tuesday. As far as the spare ECU goes, $200 sounds alot better than the $680 from APR. Are you just calling around at junk yards? I gotta jump on this before everyone else decides to do the same thing and all the wrecked 01.5's are cleaned out!

For those with spare ECU, would you lie if service people asked if you chipped your car?
Hmm...
