ECU remapping refers to the tweaking of a software program that controls the an automotive's engine management system (ECU). This is important because it optimizes fuel efficiency and decreases emission of fossil fuels.
Remapping the ECU on a VW T5 can potentially lead to increased turbocharger stress due to higher boost levels and altered fueling maps. If the remap is not done correctly or if the vehicle's components are not capable of handling the increased performance, it could result in overheating, excessive wear, or even turbo failure. It's essential to ensure that the remap is performed by a professional and that supporting modifications, such as upgraded intercoolers or exhaust systems, are considered to maintain reliability. Regular maintenance and monitoring can help mitigate these risks.
You could try remapping your ecu. I would get it done professionally though. You wouldn't want to change the wrong settings and damage your engine.
Reprog service is a specialized service provided by Filestechnic for engine remapping, also known as ECU remapping. It involves fine-tuning the electronic control unit (ECU) of vehicles to optimize performance, improve fuel efficiency, and enhance driving dynamics.
Yes it will make your life much easier to have the turbo ecu and harness. The turbo injectors have a resistor pack that the non-turbo engines do not use. So that would have to be manually wired in to use stock turbo injectors and ecu.
Yes
Yes you can you will need to get the non-turbo engine, non-t ECU and wire harness. The wire harness and ecu are diffrent between the t and the non t.
Yes, the engine can be installed and bolted up. But-- use a turbo ECU with a turbo motor, and a normal ECU for a normal motor. There will be small differences between the cars regarding wire harness install, and small emission bits. Try to preserve as much of the original configuration on the car as possible-- that is what the ECU is expecting.
Buy a turbo. Change exaust , change manifold , change air intake, reprogram ecu.
GST ECU is designed for turbo. you will have problems with ECU, but nothing that can't be resolved. It's a pain, but it can be done with minor motor mount mods.
To answer this question, you need to call Mr Turbo at 281.442.7113!
The ECU is located underneath the wooden panel/ underneath the carpet on the passenger side, below the glovebox
