I'm actually surprised that no one wants the ECU out of my wrecked baby *shrug*.

Here's the link again if anyone knows someone. $450 is a steal, IMO.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/b5-class/msgs/1526.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/b5-class/msgs/1526.phtml</a</li></ul>

Default I know a guy who has a girl who has a Passat that may want it.

Default Since the cars are older and most are out of warranty

Nobody needs the entire ecu, just the chip goes for like 300. That and along with the advancements tuners are doing with more custom programs would be my guess. I remember 5 years ago they would be gone almost next day but there really was not that much out there at the time.

Default $300??Umm...I seriously doubt it. Just the flash alone costs $495!

It's not a chip, BTW...it's a flash. If you see a flashed ECU for $300 buy it immediately.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tyrolsport.com/index.php?p=product&amp;id=177&amp;parent=107">htt p://www.tyrolsport.com/index.php?p=product&amp;id=177&amp;parent=107</a</li></ul>

Default He's speaking of the used ones. I've got a 2K GIAC flashed ECU, and I can't get rid of it for $400.

Sucks. I bought the chip at $500 and paid $250 something for a used ECU.
