Going to try n install this myself now, where is standard ecu located n any things to take apart to access it if so?
passenger side footwell, left handside, remove kickplate, then panel, easier access :)

Thanks,
Just installed the power fc,
10mins idle (Was bouncing rev from 1-1.5k for 2-3 then settled)
then demister for 10mins (Was bouncing rev from 1-1.5k for 2-3 then settled)
Then air con (Was bouncing rev from 1-1.5k for all the way)
switched air con off and drive back home (15miles)
Drives really smooth and fine but revs still bouncing 1-1.5k, is this normal as
its still learning or have i done something wrong and need to start over again?
you fixed the o2 sensor?
Forgot to add that i also disable the boost controller setting as i don\'t have one which is:
ETC, 4.02 F/B Control.
is this boost controller?
Liam, whats o2 sensor?

Just realized that was the 02 sensor that i disabled, will switch it back on 2moro.
Anyone know where the boost controller menu is for switching on and off?
o2 sensor = lamda sensor
then spark plug looking thing on the downpipe with 1 (iirc) wire poking out of it.

Hm.... should be disable in a way then as mines snapped, will enable later and see if any changes or might start again if i have time.
my understanding is you need o2 sensor as that measures if the air/fuel mix is lean or rich.
unless theres another way of measuring if engine is running rich or lean?
on my legacy the o2 sensor needs replacing and from the wrong o2 reading.. it prevents the primary turbo boosting properly as the fuel / air misture is not right so the ecu takes this into account and adjusts everything else depending on the dodgy o2 reading.
