Left hand side of passenger footwell, behind the flare holder (if you have one).

Take out pop pins and remove panel to reveal your little grey box!

ahoy guys and girls,

well ive finally come to the conclusion that the ecu is standard (sorry couldnt take any pics, no digi camera!) and am contemplating upgrading. i have apexi induction kit, rotechniks uprated intercooler, hks ssq Bov, full straight through racing beat exhaust system(no cat). now do i actually need to uprate the ecu or will just a air/fuel controller  be able to deal with this?

i heard various things on here from you chaps about the apexi pfc  saying it is base mapped for these mods but NOT for a 1992 car which mine is. what can i do?
HELP!

Cheers
Nick

ps. soz havnt posted for a while, been tryin to earn enough cash to drive the beauty all day and night!

Nick, you could go the route of the air/fuel controller, but this doesnt control the boost spikes/creap that you will be getting. The Apexi PFC amongst others will control this.
