i just picked up a 97 thats turboed and i was wondering if anyone could help me identify some parts
first is the map ecu- ive personally never heard about it but i was wondering if anyone can give me some input as to if its ok to run for now or should the first upgrade i do be a new standalone

second is the BOV- anyone know what brand this is? it looks like a knockoff

third is this plug thing- im guessing its an IAT sensor

fourth is the injectors- the guy told me they were "larger" injectors but they look like the regular 1.8 tan tops to me

and last would be the FPR- i have no idea what brand this is and i also have no idea what that thing is on the firewall next to the yellow wire

heres a couple more pics of the car




the car has 199k miles on it and in the last 800 miles the timing belt, water pump, wires, one step colder plugs, struts, springs, brakes, battery were replaced
there are quite a bit of dents and scratches in the body but not as much rust as i thought there would be..and it has a tiny leak in the weather stripping around the windows on the soft top... the car idles a bit weird at cold startup but idles fine once warmed up a bit. the trans is smooth, engine runs perfeclty, no noises anywhere on the car and the car is currently running 5lbs of boost. but that will soon change once i get injectors, fuel pump, intercooler, and install my water/meth kit thats was gonna go on my gti.
over all im gonna say i got a good deal since it only cost $1400 which is what a regular NA in similar condition goes for around here

BOV is either at Turbo XS or ebay knockoff of it.

By the looks of the car, probably ebay knockoff.
