ECU is in. Real easy. Starts, idles like it did before. Rolls down the street, chugs a few blocks (warming up). No difference. Short stretch from 20mph (planning a 20-50 run), feels kind of the same up to about 35mph and then........ CCCRRRRRAAAAaaaAAAaaaaAAAAPPPPPPPppppppp!!!

I cannot believe how the car pulls! From 35 MPH on up, it is insane. Forget the stopwatch, the way she pulls, I won't be on 50MPH for more than a split second before I'm doing 70. Sorry, no objective data here.

Default We may pass around the one I have. Honestly, what I will probably do...

... is send my ECU and get a "milder" reprogram that will protect my pricey bits, and when that comes back, I'll swap my ECU send you the one I have (but only with the prior consent of it's true owner, Ming 2.7T).

Default We done this on one of the watch enthusiast sites...

...passed around some fairly pricey pieces with folks all over the world.

"Try it before you buy it" or "get it out of your system" Either way it works.

Put me on the list!
