Does anyone have a stock ECU that I can borrow?

I think mine might be bad. I've tested every wire on the ECU, and every component and the car runs like crap below 4K. From 4 - redline it's fine. It's very frustrating. The only thing I can think is that I've got it hooked up to run like it's N/A. I used the intake pipe from my KA-E and just don't have the turbo plumbed in at all. I don't have a cold pipe that fits yet, I need a couple of couplers for the hot pipe, and I still have to build the rest of the intake pipe for the turbo. If nobody has any ideas and does have an ECU I can borrow, I'll pay for shipping both ways. Thanks!

I bought a spare one off an ebay auction that you can borrow. I haven't fired up a car with it so I can't 100% guarantee its functional but you're welcome to try it. Email ([email protected]) me an address if you want to give it a try.

If that doesn't work out, I should have mine in a couple days. It's not like I'll be using it right away, so you are more than welcome to it.

Sorry, I neglected this post. I got it figured out. At the time, I was running the car N/A and apparently the ECU didn't like that. It's fine now.

Are you saying we checked every single wire for no reason!
