Hello DSMers,
I bought a 95 TSI AWD over the weekend and now have it in my yard and have been tinkering with it. It has 1200 cc injectors, HX35, along with many other mods. When I bought the car, the guy pulled DSMLINK off his other car to get it to start because it apparently had a bad MAF. He gave me a "black box ECU" with the car and told me I would need a new MAF and to tune it to get the injectors and turbo dialed in in order to it to start.
Fast forward to now, I wanted to see if I could get it started enough to move it, so I pulled the fuel rail and installed my stock blue top injectors and unplugged the MAF to get it into limp mode which would be enough to move it. After doing this it still just turns over and doesn't start, so I decided to look up the ECU. The numbers are : MD345713. I looked that up on this thread and found that it is out of a '98 2.4ltr Spyder. He had told me it was a flashable '98 turbo ECU. So what I want to know, and I believe I already know the answer, is this compatible with my 95 Talon TSI AWD? It might be helpful to know that the harness is from a '97 GST (Engine swap). Also, can someone confirm that this is a Spyder 2.4 ECU? He swears that it is out of a '98 Spyder turbo. After I get this confirmed, I'll be looking for some advice on where to go from here. Thanks for any info, guys!
