turbo_rolla Regular Location: Adelaide Registered: June 2005	Useless but interesting fact about 2001 Turbo Corolla's Mon, 14 November 2005 07:07 Hey guys, thought i'd share this with everyone. I went into a toyota dealer today to get a stud for my suspension (got excited doing up my strut brace and snapped a stud ) and was talking bout my 2001 Turbo Sportivo that im trying to sell with one of the guys. Anyway, we got to talking and the guy mentioned that the ECU in the sportivo (turbo model only) is worth $20,000 if you want to replace it!!!! A customer had theirs stolen and this was the price he got back from tokyo when getting a quote for a replacement! (he showed me the quote) Aparently they dont want anyone doing the conversion themselves and just wacking in a "standard ecu" from an "original sportivo". Didnt look gold plated to me when i was hooking up a performance meter , but was a very interesting fact! I think i'd settle with an aftermarket one and spend the $$$ to get it tuned! Anyway, thats a useless fact for the day! No doubt it'll start some debate about dealership pricing [Report message to a moderator]
