    from memory there is only one screw - at the top, then its just held in by two "arms" either side which you pull it out from. at least thats how i remember it being, lol...so dont blame me if im wrong.
    also have you got the special screw driver to get the screws off the plate of the ecu for access to the memcal?

    ive only done a memcal swap in my VS, and im taking the assumption that a VP is going to be very similar if not identical - and i know on the VS i needed a weird shaped screw driver bit to get the access panel off.

    VP has two screws holding the bracket in, you have to take the connectors off to see the other one.
