Default Ecu Version 5/6 STi

Will a Ecu from a Version 5/6 STi fit into W reg UK Turbo 2000?

Cheers

In a word no same 3 plugs, but different fueling, maps, etc.

It will physically fit the plugs etc.

But I think the cam and crank pins have to be swapped around (and something else).

But it's a no-goer anyway - as midnight says, it's a totally different fuel/ign/boost map for the STi 5/6's bigger VF28, etc. And they run an aggressive map at that (lots of ign. advance and/or lean fuelling). It will be wholly inappropriate for your car and totally not optimised. It would invariably lead to engine damage...

If you're wanting to increase your car's stock 215bhp, then you can get your car's own existing ECU mapped by EcuTek software by JGM (who's a fab mapper and travels). You should make 260-280 on your car's TD04L turbo (esp. if also fit a decat d/p before the remap). A Walbro 255 fuel pump is advised too.
