Default Newage engine swap

im guessing a few of you lot have put STI engines in to WRX shells before, when you have done this have you had any problems with the pait of rear camshaft sensors as the WRX didnt have the avcs heads that the STI has or is it just a coincidence that i have put my sti engine in a wrx shell and the engine management light is on and saying both sensors are faulty?

I have an sti8 engine in my blob wrx,it was a direct fit As Im Not Using The AVCS So My Original Loom Was fine. If you want to use your avcs the easiest way is to fit an sti ecu and buy a custom loom from Tim @ jt innovations for £150.its just plug and play then get your mapper to code your keys to the ecu
