So I bought a cheap eBay 173 ECU w/ an accompanied chip (Turner) to upgrade from a 153 ECU.
I'm unsure of the history behind the ECU, but the cover has a few SSSQuid stickers on it and the seller said that it once had an SSSQuid chip in it, which leads me to believe that maybe the ECU was once rebuilt/tested by SSSQuid.
Regardless, what should I do before throwing this new-to-me ECU in my car? Obviously disconnect the battery, unplug old ECU, blah blah...
Are there any visual queues that would tell me the ECU is trash? Regardless, I have a fire extinguisher on hand ;)
Thanks!
