Help...they tell me I may need an ECU (computer) for my 1998 Jetta TDI, 5 speed. Does anyone have one that I can rent, borrow or buy?
I am in the San Francisco Bay Area.

that is the code and I already changed the vacuum line.
thoughts?
When you changed the line, did you change it all the way inside the ECU at the sensor itself? Some folks just splice in a new line where it enters the ECU... whereas the hole is almost always inside the ECU just in front of the sensor.

I changed the entire hose as you have described and installed a new N75 valve. Tomorrow I am going to install a turbo boost gauge to see how much boost I'm getting.
