hey just wondering if someone knew a good place on the to goldcoast get a ecu installed and tuned. the other thing is that the car has a short and that needs to be fixed. i took it to one place and they said that most wires need to be replaced and that it would cost 2000$.
so do yous suggest i get the short fixed first or jsut take it to get ecu installed considering that most of the wires they will remove and that.
so help would be good. thank you

I'd say bring the car to ECU place and ask them to look at it too seeing as they are gonna have the car looms everywhere. they should be able to find short seeing as they deal with car electronics anyways

fix wiring to suit your new ECU ... then get it tuned ... in that order
and while your re-wiring the bay, you get to heat shield the important stuff.
you'll need a running engine and working electricals to tune the ecu.
