Subject:Re: 5 cyl conversion update?

I would also like to add the question of ECU's .  Does anyone know if
different ECU's are required for different engines ?  I had been told that
the GTI 4cyl upgrade had a specially developed ECU.

Also, it was suggested to me that raising the HPower too much is likely to
damage the gearbox.  does that make sense ?
