[Mk2] [Turbo] Retrofitting abs??

Has anyone done this before..

I have all the parts on a donor car.. The abs hubs are already on the car from turbo upgrade.

I have the module on my bench and the wiring in situ on donor. is the a ecu for it hiding somewhere. does the system work independently to the main engine ecu?

What's preference for a mildly modded tubby lump these days?

Happy to spend a couple of hundred a year

[Mk2] [Turbo] oil for run in after 7 years no use.. turbo

As title really..

Should I treat as running in a new engine and work through mineral 200 miles, semi 300 miles, then a quality fully ?

The engine has been sat for 7 years and only turned over once by hand a few weeks ago.

Open to any thoughts and suggestions

Thank you

Re: rev1 turbo lump into a rev1 na. jdm. Help required please.

My mistake.. It does have the loom. I just swapped it out however there is a plug and socket by the ecu that won't marry up. http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z362/swaggansway/IMAG3057.jpg http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z362/swaggansway/IMAG3056.jpg http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z362/sw...

Re: rev1 turbo lump into a rev1 na. jdm. Help required please.

Yes I'm using turbo box. It's actually a jdm auto so looks like I will need to do the pedals also .

The cable you mention won't swap out? It's just a power cable. Doesn't appear to be a loom going to front?
