08 to 09-10 ecm change. Need a part #
As the topic reads, I am looking to change my 08 Ecu to a new 09-10 Ecu. I need to know the correct part number for a manual coupe with the adaptive cruise control.
Also how how much of pain In the *** would it be to reprogram myself?
Thanks

That's the number I found as well. Let us know how this swap goes! I am very interested in doing this because I want to go ECUtek (not UpRev) but the '08 ECM's do not have enough storage. I have the ICC so I would like to know as well if it continues to work with the ECM swap.

Read too many good things about the EcuTek when being compared to UpRev. After doing hours of research on the forums here, it seems that the EcuTek tends to make a little more power, has more tuning capabilities, and is a better option for people who plan on going FI (which I might).

Interesting, I didn't know that! Thanks for the heads up xnick101, that's why I come to the forums lol. If that is the case then I may stick with UpRev and avoid having to swap my ECU. Even better I have a licensed UpRev tuner close to me in Murfreesboro but EcuTek was much farther away in GA (I'm right outside Nashville, TN).

Meh, take some advice from this forum with a grain of salt. Most everyone here is basic bolt-ons with a tune, any cookie cutter E-Tune can handle that without a hiccup. No offense to the crowd here at all, most of us are super nice and knowledgeable, just stating the facts. If you're looking to really learn, head over to the 370 boards.. Almost every build is twin turbo, single turbo, supercharger, nitrous, fully built race cars etc.. The majority of them are running UpRev and proving its more than capable of handling anything you throw at it.
That being said, UpRev and Ecutek are direct competitors in the VQ world, if one comes out with an update, the other will follow suit shortly after. You really cant go wrong either way, especially if you only have bolt-ons.

You are right, Ecutek will still lead the way. But for us 08-09 guys we are limited to uprev unless you want ecutek with no racerom features. With that being said, uprev has really brought their A game lately to cater to even boosted applications. So not worth doing the whole ecm swap, get things reprogrammed and BS just to run ecutek. It's a very close game now, but if I had the choice of both I would still pick ecutek.
