You mean disconnect the battery to do the phyiscal swap, i would imagine you need the battery connected for vag-com to function?

I wont be swapping the ecu's out, i'll plug the laptop in and cross my fingers :D

Not sure, other people with standard coolers are meeting/exceeding the request. Keep trying to figure it out, haha!

Annoying, especially as i don't really want to spend any more money on it. Atleast we can count out the N75 and MAF now.

theres a 312mm kit for standard calipers should fit under your wheels.
