For those of you wanting to or needing to remove and replace your ecu for tuning unlock or for issues, this wasn't my favorite job to tackle.

-Location is under the passenger side cowl under the hood. Push back the two black plastic tabs on the sides of the ecu, pull forward (toward the front bumper) and up to get access to the security bracket.
-Swear
-Drink a beer
-Find a way to remove the security bolts. Some people use a dremel to cut a slot on the top of the bolt and remove with a flathead screwdriver. Others (like me) had to grind the bolts off to remove the bracket that holds the ecu socket firmly in place.
-Drink a few more beers, cause that was bullshit.

Coles notes. Pay a shop to do this or step off your wallet and get a tune that can be flashed through your obdi port. Pay extra. It's worth it. Pics to follow.
