  1. Okay, thank you for that information, I will connect the wiring and give it a try. When you mention using a relay, is there a specific type of relay or just any generic relay, like the kind with 30, 85, 86, 87 labeled on the side? Thank you again.
  2. I have the car running and am getting very very close to be able to drive it. I have ordered a new boost controller from Grimmspeed and have a few more small bits needed to get the engine drive able. I have a question regarding adding a Tachometer. The current Tachometer in the VW is made by VDO and works by having the wire connected to the VW coil. Remember this car is a 1967 VW that originally had the old school original coil, condenser, distributor ignition system. What do I need in order to use this Tachometer with the Link G1 ECU? I haven't connected the VDO Tach to the ECU yet because I didn't want to risk damaging anything with a crossed wire. Thanks
  3. Scott, Thank you so much for the map. I will load it and when I'm ready to run the motor, I will definitely let you know. I understand the slow part of the process, I have been working on subaru conversion for almost five years as I have time and money. You should definitely check out www.thesamba.com and http://forums.aussieveedubbers.com/ lot of great info on these sites. Thanks again Craig
  4. Scott, thank you for the link. I will look at this. I purchased the ecu used from a person who was using it on a subaru powered dune buggy. At that point, it was programmable by the handheld programmer. I contacted a Link tuning shop here in California for assistance connecting the ecu to my laptop. They sold me a comlink box to connect to my ecu. Then when it would not connect, I sent in my ecu, they in turn sent it to Link USA to be converted/upgraded to connect with a laptop to the ecu. So I am assuming that it has the trigger sub-board that is specifically for the subaru motor. To see more of what I'm doing, here's the link to my build thread, http://shoptalkforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=134735&p=1052817#p1052817 The intercooler is placed above the engine in line with the air flow coming in to the beetle's engine compartment. I had to fabricate a pipe that is basically a V pipe to connect the intercooler to the throttle body. I'm still finishing up connections such as the blow off valve and the turbo to intercooler pipe.
  5. I have a Link G1 wired up to a subaru 1993'ish JDM EJ20G turbo engine in a 1967 VW bug. I would like to set the configuration on the ecu so I can get the car started. I plan to have the car tuned professionally but need to get it started so I can get it up on the trailer, move it around, etc. I don't know where to begin with the different settings in PCLink to get it running. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Is there a file I can upload to the G1 that will get the car running and have the correct settings? I have two coil packs, so I think that means it's wasted spark and also I'm using the factory subaru timing wheel. Thanks in advance.
  6. My G1 was only controllable by the tuning module and at the time could not find anyone who had one so I did the upgrade via Fine Line Imports here in California. I believe they sent it to a Link shop in Southern California who soldered a new chip on the board. I now have a usb to com port adapter and can connect it to my laptop. It was around 200 US to convert. I don't remember the exact cost.
  7. I just bought a used link ecu off of ebay for a subaru engine. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item;=120422123583 I don't know much about them. Can anyone tell me what model it is and where I can find a schematic? It's supposed to come with a wiring harness. Thanks
