selling K24 turbos and Flashed ECU will there be a problem?
I'm currently upgrading my turbos to alpha 28s on my 2001 996 turbo as a result I will need a new tune.

I am removing and selling my used K24 turbos. Currently the car has an FVD brombacker 1 bar tune for these turbos and 5Bar fpr and stock exhaust.

Can I sell these turbos and the ECU as a package (say for 2500$) and trade for the other guys stock (or modded) ECU?

Will the car not like either of us plugging in another VIN # ECU? What sort of hurtles can I expect. How do we overcome them?

My guess is the ecu is specific to the car, based on past experience. I am interested in the turbos though! How many miles are on them?

you need the immobilzer defeated to run another ecu in your car, same for the person that will buy your ECU.

why are you complicating things... it will cost you 2 times more then just getting your current ecu flashed.. like $1500 for 3 upgrades( in our case)...
sell the k24s for $1850... add $1500 and your done...
what your trying to do just doesn't make sense and the other party will not start the car and you will pay $600 just to immobilize the new ecu for stock file at dealer then still need a tune... follow me?
