Hey all.i have just got hold of a 99 b4 sedan.it was originally auto but has been swapped to manual.The swap seems fine and it drives realnice.the dash etc has been swapped so to me the conversion is pretty good.only problem is it doesnt seem to boost in 1st gear and only slightly in 2nd.3rd upwards it goes as good as it should ive had it on the ecu scan tool and cleared all of the fault codes none of the vacume lines have been touched as it was only the trans that was removed.has anyone done this swap! or can anyone help Thanks Gav

Thanks but i cant see why it only wont boost in 1st and 2nd! according to the internet the ecus are the same apart from the pin code.which can be changed by earthing a wire or leaving it open!
On anther note you could try using a manual boost controller on the primary turbo and see how that goes

Could you re-map the ecu rather than swapping the whole thing over!
