How to Swap your ECU...

1. Open your glove box on the left hand side there is a romovable tab...

2. Remove it...

3. grab the right hand side of the glove box and push left to get the tab over

4.
5. open the glove all the way towards the floor and it will pop off

6. grab a hold of the wire harness cover and pull it towards you

7. unplug the ecu
8. remove the three black 12mm bolts

9. the ecu should fall to the floor
10. to remove the ecu from the metal bracket use a flat head screw driver and pry on the outer edge.

11. then reverse to get everything back in...

Same here, can't see any pics.

Make sure they're not private in photobucket or consider using imgur to host the pics.

I think the written instructions alone are enough guys, this isn't difficult... If you are not sure how to do this then you probably shouldn't be doing it, you could potentially F yo car up people.

At the risk of sounding rude, the whole point of threads like this is to provide assistance in properly performing a certain build on your car. Yes, improperly doing it could "F yo car up" which is exactly why I want to have pictures to help.

For example, I can't find the tabs he's talking about in the glovebox. I really shouldn't have to explain more than that. The only reason I'm even looking for help is because I can't find the information in the service manual.
