    Mk2 Exhaust and ECU info

    I've had a couple of people tell me that they think that theres an ECU chip or something for the 8V...

    just wondering if anyone on here has actually done it and if it'd be worth it.. im not particularly stressed about the engine blowing up cause i have a 20V waiting in line.. so i though maybe for the time being..

    let us know yo,

    mitch

    It's in the link mate

    £300 ~ $450 au...
    That's a good amount of cash but seems pretty cheap for a s/s system, could only imagine what it would cost to do locally...
