Blue ecu interchangeable with red/maroon

V480TI · Post by **V480TI** » Thu Oct 15, 2009 9:40 pm

As asked, I have a 1992 turbo with original red/maroon ecu in it.
Will this car run a blue ecu ??

Thanks

Bloody hell,

I need a ECU with double pcb to fit onto my 1995 GT-Turbo that has original blue ECU in it.

Thougt Maroon was the way to go, but unscrewed 5 maroon ones and no one had a double pcb.

Someone knows wich colour ECU has double pcb and will run on a 1995 turbo ?

Thanks and greetz

My -90 runs on a double pcb. ItÂ´s a purble box. fits 89- also.

I know Jimmy, but after 1991 cars do not run on pre 1991 ECU's due to changes in flywheel etc.

So, I still need a double pcb ECU that will run on a 1995 GT-Turbo.

dual layer and single layer are interchangable. they still do the same thing, i have run dual and single in my car and havent noticed any diffrence (94 440 turbo with a blue ecu).

hope this helps

I will explain why I want a double pcb :

This has a chip you can remove and is easy to "chip".

I need this for my project with bigger turbocharger, other injectors, B18E cam etc.

That's why I need one, I had one but sold it.

So again the question wich ecu has double pcb and will run on a 1995 GT-turbo ?
Is it the maroon one or am I faulthy and was it an other colour ?

Thanks and greetz

They did make a couple of blue dual layers, but are like rocking horse crap.

You should be able to get a dual layer "marron" ecu but again they are very rare.

No other coulour apart from the above are suitable for a 95, the orange and purple will not work!

Also be careful with the "reprograming" of the chip, ive seen a couple of "DIY" attempts at this and the conditon of there engine wasnt a pleasant sight. (they had sufferd a catasrophic faliure which wrote the enigne off)

Thats true, unfortunately.

By the way, I have two maroon ECUs, one is with double pcb for sure (the richmodded), the other one I never looked.
I will find out, and come back to you.
