Hey to all!
Can I buy a chip for the KLZE and put it in my 1.8 V6 ECU, will it make the trick? Or do I have to buy a KLDE ECU and then chip that one? I mean the big difference is (my guess) in the chip, right? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Here's what I've found on my '93, so be careful before buying. You can e-mail Probinator and give him your ECU and EPROM numbers, and he'll let you know if it can be chipped. He's great to work with and helped me figure out my mistake.
On mine, my original K801 ECU has the following number:
079700-4231. It has 4 screws mounting the main board to the frame. The EPROM is 079753-2061
I fried it, and got a replacement at the junkyard, but it's the older ECU, which has the following numbers:
079700-345x and EPROM: 079753-1653 (six screws to mount main board)
This second one cannot be chipped!!!
Obviously, your '91 may be different yet, but just be very thorough in getting your numbers documented and, hopefully, he can chip yours. Definitely confirm before you buy.
If someone is reading this, and has the K801 ECU that I need, please e-mail me. I don't have 30 posts yet, so I can't reply to anybody in the for sale forum yet.

I think older ecus like 92.. he cant chip. I got a klde ecu and kl01 vaf. If u check my dyno, it made a very nice power curve.
