How about if u had STI heads and Turbo etc or if you fitted a complete STI engine, could u then use an STI ECU with a UK turbo wiring loom???
I know there is some difference with the crank/cam sensors, think u have to swap 2 wires round
But without any other mods then NO not advisable, Get a RE-MAP!

Its a MY99 like mine. Get an Ecutek remap and that should give you 270-285 bhp, depending on exhaust. It will drive a whole lot better as well. Not to mention a great bucket load of torque
