changing ecu's?
« on: November 05, 2007, 10:02:34 am »
i have the AHU engine which is 90bhp standard, ive ordered some .216 nozzles and was wondering if AFN ecu which is the 110bhp engine and fit it to mine would it help with power as i have read somewhere that the ecu's are the same its just it has a 110bhp map on the AFN. any help would be appreciated

No the AFN runs a different turbo, and the standard injectors on them are .205

If you decide to go VNT though that would be a good idea, but you'd need the turbo, downpipe, N75, vacuum reservoir.

You can get the chips you need off Aligator on tdiclub, no soldering needed on the AHU ecu. It'll do 140bhp on the standard turbo with minor smoke

My AHU has surface mount chips  :(

If you can find an AFN ecu for a decent price I might be interested...

Well I'm ultimately aiming for 200bhp / 350lb ft. Nozzles, VNT18-22, FMIC, Rocketchip, Total Seal rings, ARP studs should do it 8)

A standard 1Z is going in the 'rado while I build a mad AHU in the background  :D
