I thought you could use the auto computer on a manual though....the auto computer has extra stuff for auto in it that just isn't used in the case of a manual gearbox?

I'm guessing here mind you.....

Auto CA18 ecus can be a bit sluggish compared to manual factory ECU. I think it's to do with the signals from the auto gearbox computer missing.

They'll work ok..But don't expect more than 100kW at the wheels.

I'd recommend looking for a manual ECU (difficult to identify with numbers)

I could be wrong but i think he means get a remap of the standard ECU... In my opinion one of the best options out there.
