96 ecm file
I'm changing my 95 to obd2 and need a factory 96 A4 ecm file. Does anyone have one they would be willing to share?
I already have jet DST and several 97 f bodies, that's why I'm swapping it.

I don't think it works that way. At the very least, you'll need a crank position sensor in the bottom of the timing cover, and I'm not sure you can just put one in your 95's cover. I think there are also probably differences to the downstream (after-cat) O2 sensors. Those are just the differences I can think of off the top of my head. Other things like communicating with the CCM may also present conflicts. One can definitely swap from a 96 OBD2 to a 94/95 OBD1 PCM, but I'm not sure it works well the other way around.

The CPS and rear cats just need to be turned off in the tune (both unnecessary). The only physical change needed is the knock sensors to the 96 style. It runs perfect on a F-body file in a OBD2 PCM and all gauges work correctly (normal OBD2 scanner even work)s. The only issue so far is the ASR inop is lit which is why I'm looking for a fresh 96 a4 file. I have 4 other OBD2 LTs and have been tuning them a long time.

PM me your email address. It will take a day or so to bring up the other machine. I will make a file for you that has my VIN 9'ed out in it and email it to you.
