Anyone used one of these or had any experience of it? What do they do to the loom that you couldn't do yourself????? 850+vat to change the loom slightly and give you a standard mapped ECU sounds a lot of money??? Also does it plug and play with pre 90 spec wiring looms if you had an AGU engine?? Anyone any experience of them at all? Any opnions or advice greatfully received! Rich
When you go with DTA you have to buy a loom. So think of it as an alternative to DTA management system. Means you can get rid of most the untidy factory loom that looks pants on a Mk2.
Yeah, you also get the ECU. It doesnt really work out cheaper or easier than DTA so im led to believe. Its just an alternative.
It does work out cheaper, in that you get a amp with the ECU thats plug and play with a pretty standard setup.
Didnt know that. But thats not much use to everyone, having to get the car to stealth on a rubbish map.......
If you give vince the spec of your car, he can also provide a "near map" to get the car running pretty much spot on. He has done that many now.
Also didnt know that Thats jus what i was wondering, that'll be useful for me when i get round to the 1.8T
interesting stuff... they have emailed me and said pairing up to an 8v pre 90 spec is fine, just different end to the loom!!! Sounds quite good.. So what do they ACTUALLY do to the loom?
Basically the loom has a new multi pin connector added to it so it can plug into the MBE ecu and a power connector added so it plugs into the existing power supply from your car. You could modify if yourself if you knew what all the different wires in the loom were and what the pin out locations for the ECU are. Lots easier to get QPE to do it for you though!. The kit is not just the modified loom, it includes a fully mapped MBE ecu and also a 3 bar map sensor. The ecu is mapped for ~200BHP for the AGU engines and ~270BHP for the APX/BAM engines.
