Default How do I remove my ECU to send to get tuned?

I'm not able to find anyone in my area who can tune the ecu in person ( I know....right?)

Eurotek will tune it for me if I mail them my ecu. This seems like my only option so I am willing to try it.

Can someone please tell me where/how to remove the ecu?

Lots of lawn clippings!

Hi Walter
Click on the images twice to get a sharper view and a third time to enlarge the image.
JPEG of the Location of the ECM (rear of engine compartment right side - view from driver position in vehicle) and view of the ECM with the side bulkhead cover removed.

Here is a Ebay photo of the ECM with all the wiring connectors attached:

WD, I'm sure you've probably seen this thread:

Would that work for you?

Unfortunately not, as I have a much later model design. Other board members have had +18 rwhp gains with the eurotek tuned for 91 octane ecu, so I think I am safe to go that route.
