hey guys i just got TS ecu, and i cant seem to figure out how to take out my stock one..there are so many wires and stuff tied to it, that they are in the way of the boots. is there a howto anyone has on how to take it out?..some pics would be good too
thanks

 

Remove black plastic panels from sides

10mm socket to unplug the harness.

get a "L" shaped ratchet philips screwdriver and unscrew the 4 screws holding the ecu into the bracket.

 

I think i read somewhere on here that its easier to take out the ecu with the bracket attached to it instead of seperating it from the bracket. Donating and searching would help you a ton.

 

ahh thanks...will try the screws 2m

 

Either way you do it, its gonna be a PITA.

 

just leave the TS ECU plugged in and hanging on the floormat.

 

when I did was take out the four screws holding it in, I used a short screwdriver where possible and when I couldn't use that, I just used some needle nose pliyers to turn the screws out from the sides, it dings them up a little bit but not too bad.

Good luck, it a pain in the butt to get that thing out of there

 

haha its just chillin on the floormat now, cant leave it like that forever tho...thanks again guys

 

Thats what my car's previous owner did, for EVERYTHING. Works pretty well :P

 

ha ! blasted ecu, its a pain, lol ! i sat upside down fighting with that blasted thing on to many occasions.

 

 

 

 

haha i got one of the screws out and one more is stripped....the back 2 are impossible to get out

 

remove the bolts, the screws are what holds the backet to the ecu. Just remove those bolts, then the ecu with the backet will come out. Remove the 10mm bolt that holds the ecu to the wires and then swap.
