Ok so I found out that the coil over kit is an h&r kit i also found out the car has an aftermarket dv. And that the spare ecu in the trunk was chipped by gaic it says awe k04 bone.... w.e that mean I donno maybe some one can help..... n I pulled the ecu cover off and the ecu in the car is from a junk yard...... I also got my vagcom cable today n plugged it up to my car it wouldn't rear **** plugged it up to my buddies car it worked fine....could it be because of the junkyard ecu.....

Sorry for the shitty typing skills I'm on my cell phone n its a pita

It probably means at one point the car may have had (or even better, still has) a Ko4 turbo in it, and that ECU was chipped for it. Or, the guy was planning to install one and never got around to it. I'm not sure how to tell the difference from the two while they're installed (anyone help him out), but if you have a Ko4 turbo already in there, then you pretty much did get your car for free, and you bought C/O's and a turbo with tuning, for 1,800 bucks. Not a bad grab.

I don't want to lie to you because I'm not sure. I know they do look very similar, if not the same. Do some research and find out, and if you can't find anything, start a new thread.
