yes you will need the ecu to match the turbo or a re map to run it,.

A u8 ecu is off a 93 import i think so should work with the td05. are you sure you plumbed all the pipework back properly.
would help if you said what year yours is?

whatever ecu he has was mapped to the kkthingy he took off so it wont run the td05, if he swaps the ecu he will also need to make sure the injectors ect are the same as the map on the ecu,.

You can't just go swapping turbo's without having the car setup to accept it. Fueling could be all over the place.

your car needs to be the same spec as the car the td05 came off for the ecu to work or as already explained your fueling will be all over and that means kaboom in most cases,.

The car needs to go to a specialist mate, put on a dyno and checked over by someone in the know.

You will blow the engine up if you dont get the car mapped for the new turbo mate.
