Default putting new chipped ecu in do I need to do anything special?

Besides leaving the key in the on position for 3 minutes for adaption do I need to do anything else? Anything with the vag?

I don't do anything. Not even throttle body alignment. No problems here.

Plug and play. You might need a throtle body alignment, but I never have.

Default Re: clear the low power code.

I need a vag for that right? Will it run right without clearing the code?

Default Are you joking!?

You know, some people run 87 octane fuel, but hay they do it 8 - p

You need to make sure the ECU has the proper voltage range mapped out.

Ty - I'll help you out this weekend. Just give me ring.
