Hi,
Does anybody know if the factory sidesteps from a GU will fit on a GQ?
Thanks,
Angry

Ari,
how'd you get onto the development ECU? I have a small power loss at about 1900-2100rpm (like a dead spot) that is mildly annoying, i must admit tho that the Patrol would pass uphill fully loaded on the way to and from QLD without much drama. Had a roofrack on too!
Keen to hear your reply

Hi Bonz,
The problems the new ECU was supposed to address were mainly to do with power loss at high ambient temperatures and at high altitude. As a side benefit, it also improved turbo linearity and extended the power band up to approx 4000RPM.
I doubt that the dead-spot you describe has to do with the ECU. Mainly GU2 models were affected.
Mine is March 2001 build.
I think a Dtronic chip would probably solve this for you
Feel free to e-mail me offline if you'd like more information
