[s-cars] Maybe it's the ECU after all.....

[Jim Fleischer]

Many thanks to all who have given some sage advice over the course of today......after checking out my turbo and wastegate, each checked out okay.  I gained access to my ECU, checked the intake pressure line, was intact, and then disconnected the ECU from the wiring harness for a bit.  I reattached it, buttoned it all up and went for a drive.  No change in performance.  Pulled the codes and got a "2222"......

2222 (Blink Fault Code), 00519 VAG1551/2 Fault Code Number
ECU Internal Pressure sensor (G71)
Pressure sensor defective, 
Repair or replace ECU or replace internal pressure sensor

So, looking for an ECU to swap out at this point and see if that's the issue, which I would guess by the codes that it is.  Anyone have one they can spare?

Let me know if I'm finally on the right track, and if there is anything more I can do at this point besides swap out an ECU.

Also curious as to how this might happen?  Any thoughts?

Thanks again......maybe there's light at the end of the tunnel.  (Then again, it could be an oncoming train!)
