hi guys just done the manual conversion 1 week ago and i need a bit of help with few bits ,i am still running with the same ecu i had before which is for an auto but people reckon is ok

-what do i need to do with the auto box ecu (just disconnect?)

-clutch,i don't have the air reservoir and all other vacuum pipes but i've put an one way valve and it sames to be a bit better (witch way the valve needs to go ???just to make sure i've got it the right way)

-now the car sames to be very laggy,turbos kick in at about 4000 rpm with the auto was at 2000 rpm ....4000 rpm is that right?

-and also is there anything i need to do with the ecu ???someone said i need to connect a wire from pin 52 or 54 (i can't remember)to earth

Using the Auto ECU is absolutely fine, I left the autobox ecu in on mine but it can be removed.

 

As for the pins, you can run a neutral feed from gearbox to pin 44 however you do not need to ( I havent ) you will find the car will just idle slightly higher at times, However Im sure someone with more experience will comment also.

 

As for turbo lag, I found mine was no different kicks in at 2500 revs and it should.

In fairness seeing how much the block moves about I wouldnt be surprised if you have created one or two boost leaks and there the issue.
