I see ECU caps on ebay and a few other places but can't find caps for TCU? Where do you get TCU caps?
 
Theres nothing special about the capacitors that are going in there. Take a picture of them and I can give you a digi key part number that would work. It would be much cheaper.

The 47uF cap by the power transistor in the heatsink is the one that goes bad on TCU's. You can use the same one as you find in the eBay kits. For example the 47uf 50v Panasonic NHG series P5570-ND from Digikey.

If the cap has already leaked and your stuck in limp mode changing it typically only has at best 50% chance of fixing it.
