whiteglanzav Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 does the emu work the same on automatics ??? Quote
Driver Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Was there this afternoon when rick was hard at work with this, He really did try every trick in the book ! spend bloody hours on the thing.Hope you get it sorted soon ! Quote
BoostJunkie Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Thats shit mate i'm in the same boat was supposed to get the gt mapped on friday but with family issues and not getting the car finished as a consequence. so chris on the emange forum (GI Imports) is doing it this friday but with the snow conditions as they are its touch and go so hopefully it fucks off in time Quote
iamlegend Posted March 15, 2011 Author Posted March 15, 2011 i am really thinking of a selfmapping ecu now hahahha save the whole hassle do the jam,blitz etc replace the actual stock ecu or is it a piggy??also if it will fit the auto Quote
Sparky Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Replaces stock ECU and you will need an AT specific one or get a proper gearbox Quote
Socks Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 dont let a dodgey exprience put u down mate!emanage is a tried and tested way of doing it, it sucks it happened to you, try get ya money back and get yourself an ultimate!plug n plays r hard enuff to find leave off an auto one! Quote
whiteglanzav Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Well surely if the plug and play ecus are diffrent then ther are gunna be some diffrences when wiring an emu into an auto loom ???? Quote
