remapping a 98 irish turbo, can i flash or do i need a new ecu, all mods ready

[roakesti]

as above, can i flash it or do i need a new ecu. can u advise on what to get. i have all mods ready and waiting to go into car. just need to know about this first

 

[DUFFMAN]

Is it v4/ or v5?

 

[roakesti]

How would i know which it is. Is there a way to tell

 

[roakesti]

If it helps my car is jf1gc8kd3 is the first part of the chassis number

Is coil pack on right hand side of engine or in middle

 

[roakesti]

Not to sure. Car is out at my friends house. I'll find out 2moro. Wat does each side mean

 

[DUFFMAN]

If the cool pack is in the middle it's a v4, so you would need an after market ecu

If the coil pack is to the right it's a v5 and you can get the standard ecu mapped

 

[roakesti]

So it is a big difference. It's a good few hundred euro difference.
If it is a case I've to get different ecu wats my best and most cost effective option.
If I don't have to get one I just pay for the mapper to do his job

[roakesti]

So wats the story so with above question with mine being a version 4

 

[smokey wrx]

I'd go with an esl! http://www.enduringsolutions.com/
They seem to be a very capable ecu with the features of some much more expensive ecus!
