You cant just swap ecu's as the ecu is coded to the dash.

Use your current ecu and get it mapped for the K04 and S3 injectors.

So are you saying change the map sensor to the S3 one with my current ecu or leaving both my ecu and map sensor as is and getting it mapped?

K04 power going on soon!

So using the origanal gti ecu will work fine, its just the map sensor wont work, which means changing it over for your own engine.
Anything else?

Just the map sensor.  The S3 map reads differently to the stock one.

Depends on the mapper as the S3 map sensor can be mapped to work with the stock ecu.  Easier to just use the stock map sensor and stock ecu.

Somewhere someone had mentioned about boosting, they couldnt boost above 21psi.

would there be a problem with this or with the correct tuner could this problem be solved?

quote by James on the Topic: Difference of S3, Cupra and golf R engine
you can also keep your ecu.    but u limit ur boost, 21psi. (what i run)

if you do change your ecu,  change your map sensor also

21 psi = approx. 1.5 bar is this correct ^^^^

What happens when the s3 map sensor is mapped in to the GTI Ecu?
