Hi Andrew,


What?  You were in New England, and a list member and didn’t stop in to see me?  Hey, VT is a beautiful place! 


I don’t find the web sites all that easy to use. 


So, What does this engine management consist of? 


Example what does it use for a AFM? Does it use a cam sensor and pull sensor like the GW version?  Does it have on plug coil like the GW and come with a ECU? 


Does it still use some old parts like the Idle Air control valve?


Does it have the ability to be upgraded or fixed with a computer upgrade? 


Can you connect a Scan gauge.? 


Is it a learning system? 


So very interesting. 


I just read something from another list I never thought I’d see.  A person that removed a Jetta engine that was tired and replaced it with a GW 2.3 but with this engine management.  Also just concluded a nice long trip.


Thanks for the info and share more if you can.


Eric Caron
