Default ECU difference ?

Hello,

Is there any difference between a JDM Bugeye ECU and a Euro Import ECU? Provided they are both from STI's that is.

There are differences, you cannot use the JDM rom files in the Eurospec ecu as an indicator. I take it you are wondering if the hardware is interchangeable ?

cheers guys.

Yes Bob, basically I have a UK/parallel import STI with an EcuTek license on it, now I have changed a load of stuff on the car and want to have a quick look and tinker myself so was thinking of changing the ECU out for a STD ECU as I can't fettle with an ECUTek'd ECU

So as I undertand it I have to have a UK ECU to put in there ?

Thanks once again

Hi Tony,

You might want to look on the RomRaider forums under ECU Analysis......
