    You could read the Immo data and flash it into opposite ECUs. I find it easier to swap the immo chips over, as a permanent solution.

    No takers then? I'm still keen if anyone is after a good tune at bargain prices.

    I'm in Brisbane, but im sure we could arrange things via mail / courier for anyone out of state.

    Shoot me a pm if interested

    I will have a stock ecu looking for a tune soon. Don't think I will go past stage 1 however.

    Still available if your willing to swap and send some dosh my way. The stage thing seems slightly different with APR, the only thing they offer the 9N polo as a "stage 2" enhancement is their uprated diverter valve. Then stage 3 is a bolt on K04. I'm pretty sure when my car was re-flashed for the downpipe it would have been just to allow the software to see a wider range of gas flows through the exhaust without throwing a CEL. I think the improved performance would have been more down to the physical hardware in place than adjustment of the ECU. Technically I think I'm still be classed as stage 1 according to APR. You could probably use that ECU without the downpipe. But having said all that, I could be completely wrong.

    It does make a huge difference to stock though, so I highly recommend the tune however you go about it

    Are the immobilser chips a straightforward swap too? Thanks

    I am interested in swapping with Superchimps (OP) but have admittedly never done so.

    They are with the right technique. I am happy to do it. Just need both ECUs here in QLD. I can do it in about 15 minutes.

    Hello Gavin,

    I am keen, thanks. Some logistics to work out with OP and myself.

    Possible to get a group chat going via email say to make sure all is well before we execute?

    Thanks

    Jack has my number, just let me know when and where. I have a spare ecu in Sydney with no immo in if you can't be without your car. I can fix you up with that if you need it.
