I know its not what the thread is about, but do you experts    :angel: know if the 2000 2.7l S4 ECU fits the 93 URS4? There's a guy on EBAY claiming it does. I have some issues that may be ECU related

Its interesting to hear peoples opinions on the URS6, i own one and find it a great car, mind you mine is one of two NZ new 6 speed manual.

But i would find it difficult to sell, but have to many cars also.

Great cars.

 ??? well one issue is that the WGCV wont work even thought it has voltage on it, I tried another one and it wont work either. Seeing as its controlled from the ECU by varying the ground to it relative to 12v I am assuming ECU or wiring to ECU  (we all know about ASS  - u and me). It could simply be the the connectors on the ecu, but I'm too lazy to rip up the carpet and check.  In the meantime I have just plumbed in a manual boost controller to have boost above the wastegate spring tension (about1.6 bar) - and set it to 2.0 bar relative as thats what the wgcv does electronically (more or less). Car goes fine like this, but I would like to get it back to original.

I own one of each and have driven both and on a daily basis the v8 wins, so smooth and a heap of pull :police:

I have had both too - loved the V8 which had more luxury features in the US than the NZ model S4 I now have. But it is tough choice between two wonderful cars.

Hey, might you have an air box cover for the S4 - which I think is the same as the S6? I need the top one that is square with a round cutout for the fuel filter.

Any chance of getting the photo to me? I have managed to get my old AAN cylinder head found at the dealer and can pick it up the next time I am in Dunedin to send to you.

Care to do a swap for the airbox cover, and I also need a front fog light switch.
