So i was examining my car today to try and find out what it has on it since i bought it modded. Anyways i cant find my ems, im assuming its greddy emanage. Im going to go osiris asap and i wanted to see if maybe the previous owner installed a piggyback or not. So i looked under driver and passenger dash areas and i couldnt find anything that looked out of place, not even a blue greddy emanage unit. Where do you guys usually store these when installing them?

 

you sure theres not a utec under there? take a pic of it and post it up

 

Get a flash light and look under the passenger side dash and see if there is a dark gray box next to your ecu. If so that would be a Utec.

 

look under the pass carpet/seat.. when you bought the car did he give you a break down of all the mods?

 

Does you car have starting issues at times? Is the transition into boost not very smooth? If so you probably have a Utec.

Ouch.

 

So ****ing true!!

 

noooo

u can Tune the Utec better than that, allso the starting issue can be fixd u guys dont like UTECS. dont know why

 

some people install the EMS on the passenger side kick panel

 

I think my post came off the wrong way, MOST Utecs have these issues and they are very common, and if he is having these issues he probably has a utec, in which case we can point him in the right direction on where to look.

Hope I didn't offend any of the Utec guys

lol

 

Hhaaahaha hilarious. Well im stumped i tooks pics i hope you guys can help me, my car wouldnt run if there wasnt an ems correct? Which box is the ecu i will just try to trace the cables coming from it i guess.

here are the pics i made them big so as much detail can be seen.
Under dash pics

 

Dont see any ems...... Maybe you have a TN flash lol..

 

^+1

George should know since GTM offers reflashes with their full TT kits now

 

Man so there is no ems? how do i figure out if i have one or not....... Which box is the ecu? Ok so what are the chance i already have an upgraded maf sensor? how the heck do i tell?

Lol what if i already have an osiris flash, man i wanted to save moeny by getting an already modded car but it sucks not knowing whats been done to it exactly. Watch i have a built motor and dont even know "wishful thinking"

EDIT: i just found a homemade boost controller in the engine bay.....

 

Either its a reflash or you can try seeing if you have any additional wiring going from the fuse box on the driver side to the passenger side.

I would also look to see if you have any wiring going into the ECU grommet by the windshield and just trace back

I see a yellow wire by the clutch assembly that is wire tires.
I also see a blue power wire by the passenger kick panel that I would think its for aftermarket amplifiers.

Your ECU is in the second pic in your album right next to that white thing which is your in cabin filter housing

It would also help if you rotate those pics right side up.
I think I got neck cramps.

 

Can you link me to a pic of where that grommet is?

 

right behind your battery you should be able to see it

 

why not just ask the owner before?

was the owner on these forums? if so we might know more about the car than you do..

why do i get the feeling this is marluchi's car being passed around on its 6th owner? well i think that one had a APSTT Kit.. maybe not

 

Look in the passenger side lower kick pannel thats a common spot to tuck them. I would try to get in contact with the last owner and get a complete list of mods or you might have headaches like this for years to come.
