Looks Clean!

 

pug ecu? I heard about that before in CCC, never seen one before though!

arent they fully mappable from factory or something? hence being able to work any engine?

 

mk1. done same loom and ecu on his with TB's

 

AFAIK when they go into "limp" mode they default to a conservative factory map - so you remap the "limp" map to be your main map, and run it off that. I could be entirely wrong though......

 

thats how it works on my t/b setup

 

Good, my memory isn't totally gone then.....
Looks like a nice setup. You should do a FAQ about it, it'd be interesting to see how a cheapo t/b system can be done with standard ECU's......

 

Cool, Pug ECU , how do you get on for boost control ? i can see a blue pipe near the ECU is that a hose ?
Nice motor BTW

 

lOOKS GREAT!!!

 

a hose to the MAP sensor i would guess

stef

 

great stuff! now this is the car kind of car I like to read about in mags. people being innovative & using a 20 pug ECU they got at a scrapyard, rather than reading about some bloke who spent 1000 on Motec Management or whatever.

 

yeah spot on, lets find out how it all works! do tell!

 

Definitely! I love reading about this sort of thing. One day (yeah, right) I'll get round to building my own fully mappable ECU... But not for the Golf.

Car looks mint!

 

Just goes to show that with a little thought (and no doubt a lot of knowledge) what can be achieved on a Budget !! 20 for an ECU - that is totally mad compared to the other options. Well done that man !!

 

How much would it cost to get it mapped?

 

nice
i am toying with the idea of the pug mi16 ecu to run 45 throttle body set up just trying to get hold of one [:^(]

 

******NEWS FLASH **********
All Pug ECU's have been bought up by the Cult "20VT Power"............................. French cars are stopping in the streets (but that's normal form what Iunderstand anyway )

 

word has it that a citreon one will do as well

 

Is there a particular pug these come from

i.e

205 or M16 etc etc
