Hi team,
I bought an FG G6E NA converted Turbo a while back. It's running the original NA PCM (with an Eboost2 for separate boost control) and the original ABS Module. The Transmission was always a ZF6HP26 but the original transmission was swapped with one out of a turbo. I believe the TCM in the new transmission was paired with the NA PCM.
I am now looking to upgrade the PCM and wiring harness' to a set from a MK1 turbo (Found a MK1 F6 donor vehicle), the reason being, I'd like to ditch the Eboost2 boost controller and revert to PCM boost control so that I can run a flex-fuel sensor allowing for the automatic adjustment of boost parameters as required.
I could possibly get the ABS Module out of this donor vehicle at an additional cost, or this money and time and have mine reprogrammed, along with my TCM to match the turbo PCM.
My first question is, once Forscan is downloaded, can I use a Bluetooth OBDII adapter to communicate with the vehicle? If not, what is the best method of connection??
Also, I just wanted to confirm, do I need the keys/ignition barrel from the donor vehicle also? I heard that these may need to match the PCM also, is this not the case, or can my existing set be reprogrammed also??
Finally, if the donor vehicle was no longer in a state that allowed for the download of the ABS and TCM module config files (and possibly key/barrel related files, if required), can one use the tear tag info on the PCM and the info on the placard in the drivers door jam to source these files easily enough? and has anyone tried removing these stickers and reusing with any success??
Thanks for your time & assistance team!!!
Best regards
Benny
