i used a program called all data and it said it was below the airbag and behind the glovebox. i yanked the glovebox out and traced all the wires i saw and none of them seem to go to anything that looks like where an ecu is. ive got the harness soldered but i cant find the damn ecu.

:rofl: Open your eyes its there.

thats the worse fucking part! I know its there, but i just dont see the damn thing! :lmfao:

And to make it even worse, my carpet has been out of the car and in the spare bedroom for about a year... so it should be in total plain sight lol :lol: maybe i should scrap the turbo project... next i wont me able to find the motor. :uh:

Read the comments above. There is a SINGLE bolt, remove the bolt, pull the ECU to the right. Alternate - just unplug the harness(es) and do whatever you need to do.

If you can't FIND a way to access the ECU, odds are, you should probably leave it alone and not try whatever you were planning to do.

Ok so in the red circle is the one bolt you have to undo then pull out the ecu cables (or whatever you wana call em) At this point you should be able to see all this without removing dash, with help of a flashlight ofcourse. so once you unscrew the bolt in the pink circle wich really just helps you pull back the carpet so you can get to the other bolt. unscrew the red circle bolt, pull pins out and pull on the ecu, it takes a lil mmphhh so no your not breaking anything. Then tada ther it is........
