Hey,
Where are you? Or your buddy?
I'm in Southeast PA, have a VAG-COM (dealer spec obd2 tool to read codes and re-program on vw's).
Which car does he have (year, model of GTi- 1.8t, vr6, etc).
I don't know how the Fords work (as far as chips) but some of the newer gti's need to have the chip soldered in place (ie. remove the ecu and either have it shipped out or soldered in).
The older ones (like my '98 VR6) only needs to be literally swapped in with the old one.
I've done it w/o pulling the neg term on the battery a number of times with no ill results (this is just a safety precaution tho so I'd follow it).
If you want to talk about it just email me (nate@nateengel.com).
Later,
Nater
