Hi and thanks for reading my post.

I have an 07 HSV Clubsport which has the aluminium throttle blade. I want to use a later ECU which would normally be associated with the brass throttle blade TB.
Beside differences in the engine harness for oil pressure sensor, Starter and Map sensor and ABS module will the TB rotate in the wrong direction?

To clarify, I believe the two Tbs operate in different directions and I would like to know if I retain my TB but change ECU and OS, will the existing TB operate incorrectly.

Long story as to why but the car has mods and it would be the easiest solution.

Failing that, can currently disabled data PIDs be enabled if edited in EFILive? Pretty much the reason for wanting later ECU and OS

Thanks,
Mark

i've put in a later model ecu in my brothers 07 model and everything worked fine, but i used a gold throttle body too.

only issue i had was with the clutch start not working so had to disable that portion. i'll be honest and say i spent very little time playing with it to iron out all the bugs. it was purely to see if it would atleast run the engine.
