I don’t think I’m going to do any more engine work past this for some time so this seems right. I may lower the car next or play around with the interior or wheels but further engine work is $$$ that I don’t have…unfortunately. Now, when I pay off the car and eventually turn it into a monster… Ditto. Then do up the APR stuff then. Def. get the IMO-Defeat, the APR Tune unlocked and the “cat delete”. They should be free, just options when you fill out the card. IMO defeat being #1. Not only for re-sale if need be, but being locked into IMO and forgetting your pin in a parking lot sucks. Call a tow truck. > [@Saw something pretty funny today...](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/saw-something-pretty-funny-today/47304/5): > > i thought you can put any ecu in any car with that uses the same ecu code. it would have to be adapted in using vag-com before it runs. i did it on my mk4 1.8t golf. eurodyne or unitronic, like kk menthioned if you want to get a stage 3 down the road you will only pay 200-300 more if you already have the stage 1 Not exactly. Its not “adapted”. The ECU and the gauge cluster have SKC Codes, think VIN or a serial number. Those two must match and talk to eachother or the car wont run. If you know how (I dont, and from what I understand its not an easy task) to get into the ecu in Vag-com, you start with the stock ecu and cluster, un-modified. Scan into it and find the SKC Code, write them down. Then when you swap out one of the two pieces (ECU if say you got one second hand somehow, or say a different gauge cluster), vag com in and change the code on the unknown device. Like I said I havnt personally done it, but this information comes from VW service techs, APR reps, and Uni reps I spoke to in the last few years messing with dubs. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/apr-on-dyno/261798)._
