Ecu Swap...no Change

I bought an OEM ECU. I pulled my IPD Stage1 out and slipped in the OEM. Just for fun I thought I would take it out and see what fuel cut off felt like again. To my shock, not difference. I built boost to 18psi(mbc)and the car just roared like there was no change. Whats the deal?

do this

stop,then just WOT ( almost 100% guranteed ur not getting fuel cut)

roll 40km/h( idunno miles), then WOT (u'll most likely hit it, i do it all the time :( ))

however i find out i get less fuel cut in sport mode then eco mode

meaning with the tests above i get fuel cut all the time in eco except from the stop

i have yet to have gotten fuel cut in sport mode tho from both a roll and stop

Ok, its getting stranger...I cannot hit fuel cut off, even doing the test above. Also, I dont have a Cat, with the IPD I threw a CEL, with this ECU I am not. Next I am going to hook the OEM TCV back up and see if the boost is above the factory 9.6. I am beginning to wonder if I bought a flashed ECU.

Sometimes fuel cut can be tricky to cause. Like s_moneh already said, my factory ECU would never hit fuel cut going WOT from a standing start. It normally would only kick in once I was rolling, more at highway speeds than city.

I think its one of them scenarios where when you want it to happen it won't but the worst possible time it could happen....guess what.

Kind of like cops :lol:

Give it some time with the CEL, I have no cat and sometimes after I reset it my CEL will stay off for weeks or months.When I had a straight flange it actually only came up twice in 14 months. Since I swapped to angled it comes on much more frequently.
