Anyone have a Spare EVO ECU

I really want to do the flash, but this being my only car, I can afford for it to be down a couple days. I wish they had them on a core return charge or something, how much is a used one if it can be found?

That wont work b/c each ecu must be coded with your imoblizer and key codes or they wont work

Same thing

If you do find a spare the only way to install is to take to the dealer and have re-codded for your key. I also tried to get one.

it only take 2-3 days downtime (might be sooner though). you might as well get a cheap rental which will cost you less than an ecu for that time.

so, what happens if you go to a whole other ECU, like the AMS or one of the others? what happens to these codes?

You can't just swap ecu's due to the key chip encoding.

Go to Enterprise and rent a car for 2 days. If you can afford the reflash, you certainly should be able to afford the $60 for a 2 day rental.

it doesn't matter anymore, you eliminate the ecu which shuts down the car witht he immobilizer. that is why you can run standalone.

I have an ecu if you want it $600.00, but still will have to get the immobilizer reproggramed.
