looking good hooch the v bands they for the exhaust cat? and what rocker cover is that anything special from standard?
if you look at the turbo its also a v-band exhaust housing! im having the whole exhaust in v-band
the cam cover is a smooth one...no bolt holes or useless bits of metal. and the oil cap is in a different place

Good to meet you too mate, worked out very nicely, in the end
Its an AGN cover btw.
Now get on it Mr Hooch, you've got a deadline to meet

what will the emerald give you that the OE one (mapped properly) can't
conversely - what will you lose?

no, just wire all the inputs into the dash
you'll likely need to run both side by side to get 'full' functionality, but stuff like the vss & tacho will likely run straight into it.

Personally, i think changeing to aftermarket management shouldn't be taken lightly and really isn't necesary for many.
But, there are advantages. Launch control, full throttle gear change, staged boost levels are a few extra 'features'. The ability to bin many of the problamatic sensors and valves like the maf etc. Imo people think that they need the fault diagnosis of the stock ecu, but in my experiance its the needless sensors that find fault with the other needless sensors!!!
A big benifit imo is that you won't be tied to any mapping company.
I think Hooch will need to think long and hard about what he wants from the car and how he plans on using it, before taking the step to stand alone.
as said, its not going to be a plug and play for stand alone ecu. ME7 coped adequately on badgerwagen when mapped accordingly, so its capable.
Try fitting your coil packs in that rocker cover hooch.

Iirc you only need the thread part on the end, as the non-threaded part is the thickness of the cooler.
