Check to see what he has now, you can do this several ways.
1. VagCom
2. Check the MAF, If it's Bosch part then it's an A box (assumming he has a 6 speed). If it's Hitachi there could be several options.
3. Open the ECU case and check the part # on the ECU.
1 and 3 are going to be the most decisive in your case.
If 2 is Bosch then that really limits your options, otherwise it's not going to solve your problem.
Hope this helps.

I'd like to know if I can change the KH engine ECU for a MC engine ECU, without any other changes..?
