no need to change the loom as far as im aware.

you can run the pre 96 sti engine with any pre 96 import ecu no problem.

you should use the right ECU for your turbo, ideally, and the one that produces the most power, obviously

ahhh v3 sti into a 95 wrx is a different story. you will need to swap bits. v3 ecu is 3 plug, v2 is 4 plug. easiest way would be to swap just the short motor i think.
if you want to swap manifold and heads then it gets trickier.
