Spoke to turboeast - they never return my calls, they say they will call me back and never do, so I am not going to deal with them.

Anyone know anywhere else I can get one??

Huh?

Never heard of this. What ECU are you patching? What does the patch do?

Yeah, your ECU leaking or something

Never heard of this, who told you about it. Did they charge you money?

Basically it is an ECU harness that plugs into your ECU harness. That way you can cut and splice this patch without actually having to cut up your existing ECU wiring.

Come on Dave - you surprise me!!

OH, You want a wire ... A patch is an electronic update to the computer (ECU) used to repair a problem electronicly..

Jonny, who told you something like this exists for the GS? I've never heard of it.... There are very few applications that cut into the ECU wiring (I can name all of them on one hand I've heard and all of them are fuel/air type controllers).

Johnny,

Yeah, that's basically it. Turboeast makes them in house but they want $350 for it which is a little more than I am willing to spend.

In short guys, it gives you ECU wiring that you can hack without having to touch the stock ECU wiring.
