Default Possible problems when replacing std. ECU

My 98MY UK/Euro Spec Turbo (211 PS/290 Nm)
has an alarm installed and has NO airbags.

Would replacing the standard ECU by a Prodrive
MY97/98 ECU cause any problems?

Cheers!

Without having the key code re-recorded in the ECU with a Select
Monitor? It's said that it's necessary with a MY97/98 (immobiliser!!!).
