Are you not talking about the dip switches on the board and not physical wiring?

As per 22b thread, crank and cam position sensor wires need swapping.

I should qualify my statement I guess - if you were silly enough to fit a stock phase 2 STi ecu into a Euro car, this is what you would need to do....I assume the link ecu's are the same

I don't know myself tbh, never having owned an Sti and never heard of actual wiring having to be changed but good to find out if it is.
I thought it might have been down to dip switch position on the Link because the Sti's won't have the immobiliser but that's a stoopid thought cause drb5's car is a uk car with an sti engine about to go in.

Dave you have mail, my comment related to running with an sti ecu, since you are using the wiring loom thats in there with the link it will not need any changes, the immobiliser is nothing to do with the engine or ecu and is a separate module if installed.

cheers
