It looks like you can from reading in the archives but I just wanted to be sure there were not issues. Is it recommended? Will I loose anything? The cluster just needs to be recoded right?
Thanks in advance

is because I found a decent price on a MTM Chipped ECU but its an HBox. Just wasn't sure if I would loose anything important (traction control...etc) or if there were any adverse problem.
As far as switchin back and forth from stock M -> Chipped H I guess that would be a pain since I would need to convert everytime. Might be worth selling my stock Mbox for a stock Hbox. But that would proably defeat the purpose since I'm still under warranty![Smile](https://www.audiworld.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Is there any code which performs better than other codes? Or does it just depend on the car?

One of the values needs to be changed from 1025 to 0 or vice versa. The details should come up in a search.
You shouldn't lose any capabilites going from M to H but I can't comment on whether or not there is a performance difference. If there is, its likely to be very minimal.
