Care to provide a link then?
It's a shame that phpBB doesn't have a "merge posts" function because 4 in a row within a space of 10 minutes is just plain unnecessary.
Your next lesson - the Edit button. This allows you to edit your post so that you don't post 4 times in a row and make the forum look a mess.

Whilst viewing these boards you may have heard people speaking about resetting the ECU.
What is the ECU and what does it do??
The ECU is an Electronic Control Unit, what this means is that it controls everything regarding you engine on the electronic side of thinks. It controls fueling rates, air flow rates and such like.
Why and when would you need to rest the ECU
When you make modifications that effect the running of your engine, i.e. adding and Induction kit or a new performance exhaust system or backbox then you need to reset the ECU. The reason you have to do this is because your ECU is set up as standard to run with your standard equipment, when you add an induction kit for example you increase the air flow so increase fueling rates, because the ECU cannot sense what change you have made to your engine it will still try and run it as standard so when you add a performance moddification you can actually get lower performance or a 'lumpy' drive. Its a simple thing to do and as you can see from what I have told you its best to do it.

i cant really see it making more of a difference than drilling of removing the base and the restricter... i suppose the colour coding makes it look good.. only if the engine is the came colour etc but i guess the filler and all the work is more weight(not much but MORE!)

The first thing I thought was "Oh no, what have I done  "
20valver, you complete and utter noob, I asked for a link to the thread, not a whole copy and paste of that useless piece of stupidity into this one.
Also, for the record, nothing you say has ever made any sense whatsoever.
Anyway, we have been politely asked by forum staff not to fill up the Help Zone with arguments with you so will you please leave us alone now so we can talk about drilling air boxes and taking the side bit off, NOT using filler to get max BHP.
Thank you.
