Can any body tell which fuse and its location which needs to be pulled to reset the engine ECU!

ECU Reset

I'll also be interested to know. However, is it different on a REV 1?

I'm sure I will be resetting my ECU as soon as I up the boost to 1 bar. :D

Leeroy: I'm coming from Croydon mate.

There's a few people going in a small convoy from Kingston.

Where are you?

Yep, there's one fuse in the engine bay fuse box, plus one in the fuse box under the front bonnet - ISTR they're both labelled ECU. You'll get a spark when you reconnect them though, so I wouldn't do this at a petrol station ;)

I did this to my Rev2 Turbo on back to back tests on a rolling road, and it didn't give me any more power - but it can't hurt to do it anyway.
