Default Reflashed ecu??

Supercharged my tc and ran great with stock ecu, except going into boost. I got a reflashed ecu but after i installed it, the car wouldn't start??

Bad ecu? Or did i miss something?

HELP!!!

05 ecu will swap out with 06's (or vise versa)...07-10 will interchange with each other but not with 05-06. just keep it auto with auto and manuel with manuel (though i have heard some doing it, never done it personaly).

iv swapped an 06 ecu to a 05 tc...however you need to allow the new ecu to link with the cars transponder...there is a simple diy around here somplace.

probably 60$ easy lmao i cant believe they even have a sst for something like this.
first time i used a piece of wire, then had no wire and used a paperclip. paperclips = easier/cheaper ftw.

Well yeah my car runs great when not in boost of course, But the supercharger internals knock like no other when you told me that it was fine But now that's my problem I guess...

(CRUSH)so in short use a paperclip to "short" the two terminals shown for 30min with the key in the "on" position.
Thanks you so much Crush that worked like a charm!
