Default FS: APR Chipped ECU for 99.5 1.8TQM non-DBW

Ok Crew,

I just ugraded to a KO4 setup and am now looking to unload my APR Chipped ECU. I have it posted in the classifieds but truth be told I have no use for it anymore so I am just looking to unload it. It works great. It has the chipped program as well as the EMCS port so you can add more programs. I am asking $725 + shipping since the same set up from APR will run around $1200 but I am definately flexible. If any of you guys are looking to add some extra power this is the cheapest and easiest way to do it.

Not to sound lame, bit would that ECU be happy in my '98 1.8tqm? 91 octane programs?

Default I am not sure about that. You might want to ask APR.

The program it has is the chipped program. One notch higher than stock and one notch lower than the race program (100 octane). I run 93 octane all the time and it works like a champ.

Default I would think if he buys your ecu he can then transfer the coverage and

find someone to down load a 91 octane program for him or just replace the 93 octane file with a 91. You might want to look into that if he is willing to buy it if you put the 91 file in.

IIRC that ECU in current 'trim' (ver 3.1a) from APR the chipped program IS 91octane.

Default Ayup

... Now think we'll get to split a 'finder's fee' for hooking them up?

I thought so too. Where I live there is no 91, oonly 89 and 93.

Default But you can gain some power running 93 octane on a 91 program

since the ecu will allow a litte gain in timing,
where if you run a 91 on a 93 program you might get a little ping.

The really bad thing is, 91 octane we fuel we have in CA is worse then 87 octane back east.
This has been tested on a car back east. A test chip that was pinging a little on 91 octane in CA was sent to the east coast running it with 87 octane and the car did not ping at all.
