hello guys well i am looking for my ecu i can't seem to find it anyone know where it is located??

Re: ecu location????
 

behind the glove box

Re: ecu location????
 

do u know what i need to get into there?

Re: ecu location????
 

is there a diy on this??

Re: ecu location????
 

yea in your owners manual. open the glove box, pop off those two clips on the sides so the box drops down, and there it is.

Re: ecu location????
 

if you need a DIY to locate and access your ECU, i dont want to know what you plan to do when you find it.

Re: ecu location????
 

speed resistor chip from ebay. vtach

Re: ecu location????
 

Planning on stealing a car? Ebay "speed chip"? Piggyback or standalone ECU?

Re: ecu location????
 

does that speed chip actually work??

Re: ecu location????
 

lol oh no.....

Re: ecu location????
 

um no lol

Re: ecu location????
 

oh gawd! LOL if this gets any worse, i'm locking it! :lol:

Re: ecu location????
 

hmm i was looking up these "speed chips" some people say they do nothing, others dont, just saying lol

Re: ecu location????
 

For our car it doesnt do anything. it'll just modify the ECU's signal and pump more fuel into yur engine so you run rich and decrease your MPG.

Re: ecu location????
 

yeah i did some research and found out the same...it tells the engine that cold air is being put in correct?

stupid chips if u ask me, lol commen sense i guess, if i spend 500 on exhaust/headers/intake, get maybe 10-20hp? and i can just spend 10$ and get this? haha noooo

EDIT:10-20hp is pushing it, maybe 5-10 lol if that

Re: ecu location????
 

not on a 7th gen you won't!!!! :lol:

Re: ecu location????
 

haha yeah your right, maybe a noticeable 5hp, but just saying, no chip that is 10$ will give UP TO 20hp
