147 GTA - removing VDC?

I would be grateful if anyone can help me with removing VDC from the ECU. I am turning my GTA into a racecar and basically the VDC is a major problem. If the connection for VDC etc is removed an error message gets sent to the main engine ECU and it will go into 'limp-home' mode. Does anyone know how to change the software in the main ECU to prevent this error occuring? Many thanks

Welcome to Monza Motors

These guys have prepared a 147 GTA for racing - haven't dealt with them myself so no idea what sort of help you'll get, but maybe you can give them a ring.

Hello and Welcome !!

It's best to post you question in the appropriate lounge fella

Welcome to AO..

You might have to bin the Alfa ECU altogether and go aftermarket..

I thought that the 156 GTA doesnt have VDC - is it possible to use the ECU from the 156 in a 147?

Pascs, that could be the right answer! i cannot see any other way other then after market

Hello and welcome

Thanks for that. We have to use the production ECU, so the 156 GTA may be the answer. Next question is where to get one??

Hi welcome to AO. good luck with your prob.

Have you tried disconnecting the steering wheel position sensor connector in the steering column, I haven't tried this (...yet) presumably the beep/message would come up but no limp mode?
