[Mk2] [Turbo] Rev1 to rev3 conversion

Post by cooper514 »

Hey guys just need it confirmed

I've put a twin feed rev 1 rail in my car with rev 3 injectors and a fuel pressure regulator

Also fitted a rev 3 map sensor and a mag sensor

Repinned the ecu to rev 3 and fitted a power fc

Car cranks over but not getting any spark is this due to it needing a rev 3 igniter ??

I would get it running with a Rev3 ECU, far better than the Power FC

Early rev1 has a different pinout to later rev1.

If early rev1 you need to swap several wires

if later rev1 its only 3-4 wires.

Check your original ecu part number to find if early or late.

you may have repined from incorrect diagram.

Car will start on rev1 igniter but not rev high until you fit a rev3 igniter
