I want to get the MS3 Kit and I need the ECU connector to make the harness. It seems these connectors are hard to come by? I have searched the forums and found a few different numbers for this part.

• (90-00) - 178764-1 TE Connectivity Automotive Connector : I can't find this one at a decent price any where. This is from TruboKitty.
• 3-178780-6 - Not sure if this is the right connector, but couldn't find it anyway.
• 178780-1 - I found this one in stock. $13.96

Can anyone confirm that the 178780-1 will work or is the correct part?

Thanks.

I had seen this one too, It would be a last resort at almost $40 with shipping.

 

If $40 delivered is a deal breaker with a specialty connector of this size and complexity, you might be in a difficult search. I have harvested these from donor ECUs as well, it is not the easiest thing to do.

Yea I thought about trying to get one out of a donor ECU also. I wonder if there are individual sockets that fit the two connectors without having the long one piece connector?

 

There is a substantial thread on this site for connector stuff.

Thanks, This is more like it. I will order a couple of these when I get off work today.

 

Thanks Man. I bought 2 of these (178764-1) today from Allied. I'm thinking it may take a while to get them as they said they had 0 available for immediate shipment but 56 available to ship within 10 days.

It seems that they have been discontinued by the manufacturer so supplies are dwindling away.
I talked Ben @ DIYAUTOTUNE and because of limited supply they are not able to sell any of them except on their PNP ecu's.
