Default Finally a control unit!!!

Well, after my car was at Rusnak for 3 months and close to two months at my house the control unit arrived from Germany.

Yep, they installed 3 of em' and they all didn't work so they flew a gentlemen out from Atlanta to do some diagnostic work. They then sent the data and an S control unit back to Germany for remapping.

Am going up on Tuesday to have Mike install. Need some good Karma here guys!!!!!

Nervous? Hell yes!!!!!

Won't be sleeping much on Monday night.

You've been waiting all this time (over six months?) for an ECU? They installed three of them, and none of them worked? Holy Shmoley. Is the factory "S" ECU programming so very different from... say... my Gemballa or an FVD stage 1? I can't believe you've been without that car for so long.

Good luck. Post back some (good) results.

Apparently every unit was bad. I really only wanted the factory S unit.
A stock Turbo worked fine as did a tricked one Mike had that he tried in the car. I just wanted the factory unit that came with the car. If I was ever to sell it I wanted to make sure I had a stock unit.

Good luck, Marty. Sounds like you are finally going to have a car to drive.

Give me a call when you get it back and lets do some road work!

I can't believe you are so patient. 3 months is so far beyond inexcusable.

I've got my finger crossed for you to get it back so you can enjoy it before the winter rains...
