Hi & welcome to AFF ICF67, while its a good idea to reset the ecu in AU's, please be mindful a few owners have disconnected their battery & ended up having some issues with their AU2 & 3"s smartshield security system which cost them some good $$$ to fix.

If you dont want to chance it, your ecu will still learn any new parts installed after a few days anyway.

If you do put the new parts in, drive it in all variable conditions still - part to full throttle & air con on at idle & all through the rev range for a little period of time, your ecu will pick up the changes.

Let us know how you go one way or the other, good luck!!

cheers, Maka
