Re: Gearshift Maps

Hey Michael,

I wonder if we're missing a trick with the TCU mods.

Ryan's post on the USMB seems to suggest that on his TCU, the stock rom can be disabled by a resistor cut rather than removing it completely - like on our ECU.

After the socket is in place, there is a 0-ohm resistor on the bottom of the board that needs to be moved to enable the new socket. The ROM chip I am using is a SST27SF512; this EEPROM is easily reprogrammed without a UV eraser.

Any ideas?
