[Alex T]

yes, I have a PFC half installed and need to remove it and put panels back together etc, and i have the stock ecu too!

Would be greatly appreciated if someone could give us some advice or a hand realy !

I can pop up and take a look for you, but its pretty simple.

Unplug the wires from the PFC, and plug in the wires to the stock ECU. You cant plug the wrong wires in the wrong hole, they are all different shapes.  The ecu bolts onto a cage which the bolts into the left of the passenger footwell with the ecu connectors facing the front of the car, and the top of the ecu facing the drivers side.  There are 3 10mm bolts if i remember, a bolt on the top left of the cage (looking at the top of the ecu with the wires to the front of the car, as it would be when installing it)
Theres another 2 along the bottom of the cage, you might have to push the carpet down a bit to see them.

There is also a 10mm stud coming from the top left of the cage, this faces the rear of the car. There is a black insulated circle connector coming off the ECU loom that you need to bolt to this stud - its an earth.

After that, the plastic cover for it has a hole at the end of it. There is a corresponding plasic white spike at the bottom of the passenger footwell. Try and insert this piece as straigt as possible with the white spike lined up with the hole on the panel and once you get it all the way in youll be able to push the end that surrounds the door back towards the sill to put the panel in place. Youll then have two plastic screw/push fasteners that go in the holes on the panel to secure it at this end.

After that your done

Its a fiddly awkward job, best way is to recline the passenger seat all the way and lay on it on your back, feet on the headrest of the seat and stick your head in the footwell with a torch and relevant tools in hand. you can then see the connectors to plug them in, and fix everything in place.
