Some guys says the samse word as yours, but it consuming a lot of time
to do, to have a power up of few hp's
Your opinion?
Some guys are happy doing that, and other guys have reported problems with it, which they have only overcome by getting a KLZE ECU and reverting to the K8 VAF. I don't think anyone knows why it works reasonably well in some cars, but not in others - it may be something to do with the driving pattern
Bastian in Holland improved it by fitting an adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator, set to 40 psi, which he says overcame the problem for him. See

If you are going to do a harness change yourself, then i say go for it. It will probably take quite a while, but at least you dont have to pay yourself. If you are needing someone else to do it, then it will cost a lot of money in labour. So if you have the $$$, then go for the harness change. If you are on a tight budget, just get a kl02 vaf.

Maybe off topic, but I have a kl62 ecu lying around here and since I'm quite into mx-3's I would like to see someone make it work. So here it goes, 50 euro's takes it, but I doooooooo wanto know how the f--- you made it work

Need the MAF too. Have you got the MAF as well?

Nope, I don't have the maf, but it shouldn't be too hard to get those on ebay. I did look for some info about the kl62 some time ago and there are afew people who managed to make the klze run properly with a maf and mtx. It is possible, but it'll take alot of your time and effort. But hey, it's the same as having to find out how on earth to install a longneck, try out and make it work!!
That's why I'm selling it, I just lack the time. I really want to and have to spend more time on my own car, else the kompressor and bigbrakes will never get installed along with some other stuff.
