Immobilizer issue
 
So I have a 2008 MK5 GTI and I lost my key for it the problem I am facing now is that I have another key I got from the dealer so I can crank the car but will not start due to immobilizer also the key cannot be programed because the dealer said that I need to replace my ECU and my cluster now that is more than $3000 and I don't have that type of money to throw at that car I have been researching and there are ways to turn off the immobilizer but it seems a lot harder to do with the mk5 and up. I need some help or links as to where I can send the ECU so they can do it for me or if you have any ideas please send me anything you can think of thank you so much
