    Hi as the me3 is getting hard to find people to map them now and i think there are a few people out there going through this process im changing from AGU to AMK me7 looms and ecu, other than coil packs, rocker cover and vvt differences what else will i need to install eg:- sensor diferences map sensors looking to turn this into a guide with pics of the differences for people to follow.

    You will need to install an

    >> exhaust gas temperature sensor (they're expensive to buy new so check on eBay)
    >> knock sensors
    >> boost pressure sensor
    >> o2 sensor (lambda sensor Me7.5 use a 5wire wideband setup)
    >> Coil packs (obvs)
    >> Injectors (though you could probably use the existing ones with adapters or splice the AGU injector loom onto the AMK loom)

    Edit: beaten to the punch lol

    AGU doesn't have a map sensor. It has a temp sensor on the inlet and a atmosphere pressure sensor.

    dbw cars have a map sensor.

    different connectors on coolant temp.

    i have a egt off a bam where is the best place to mount this or where is it situated by audi/vw

    does AMK have the temp sensor on the manifold?
    Where are the map and boost sensors fitted by audi/vw

    Yes I believe it does. Although a different connector.

    AMK is the same loom as a BAM very simlar & in the same way AUM & AUQ are the same,its just boost level that differs.
    EGT probe fits in the 023 k04 turbo hot side (no hole in the 022 for one)

    As said,knock sensors will need to be changed,AUM/AUQ are the same as AMK/BAM

    3" MAF

    Sump sensor is part of the loom but its not required for everything to work in a conversion,its for the oil service warning really.

    Only thing I needed to fit was just the VVT solenoid, the ECU see's it as being fitted but brings up a fault code from cold starting as I have no actual VVT to alter the timing. Its not a problem.

    So,all you need is a ME7.5 ECU & loom with the matching sensors & throttle pedal / body .

    Then its welcome to a much more advanced management system, get a wireless OBD2 diagnostic reader and see all manner of information in-car & on the move :-)
