that would work well, i could put all the 96 stuff in the car turbo/injectors.ecu. then send the xc ecu away to be tuned

[Domo]

before i switch out the turbo, I have to ask do all the original coolant and oil lines from the stock 13g bolt up to the 15g turbo?

[Jardim]

I think its 100 percent plug and play, can anyone confirm this? I know 15G, 16T, 18T and 19T are, but not sure about 13G and 14T

Yes they do.

Thanks, I have to say I have read your write up on your many times, Love your car.

So, finally correct me if I'm wrong I can now swap turbo/injectors/ecu from the 96 850 turbo into my 98 v70xc awd and then send the 98 v70 xc away to be remapped to take full advantage of the swap

let me know if i need anything else in order to make the swap, the other shiny bits will come later such as exhaust /intake/etc

No, you can't use a '96 ECU in a '98. '98 is a standalone year, only a '98 turbo ECU can be used - any '98 turbo ECU, will work. Basically, you just want a 98 T5 ECU to allow for the larger turbo. Don't know what injectors came in a '96, you really want whites or blues from a T5. One can assume the earlier injectors would work, but I don't know that.

If you can't find a 98 T5 (auto) ECU, I may have one.

Hussein one night me and Ben (InitialDriveGTR) were messing around and i took my 94 ECU and put it in his 98 S70 T5 and i ran his 98 T5 ECU on my 94 T5 just to see if it worked. Cars ran fine, no CEL's or anything but i know the different ECU's affect the A/C in different ways (It was in the lucky Tuning 101 thread).

As for the injectors, pre 1998 turbos had the Orange 315cc injectors.

The A/C compressor clutch wire is activated by different pins on the ECU for M4.3 and M4.4
So if you just drop a M4.4 box in an M4.3 car without switching the wires then the A/C compressor will never get power and consequently won't run the A/C system.

I've just got the A/C wired jumpered in my car since I run both M4.4 and M4.3 ECU's in it all the time.

So in conclusion, you can technically run a 96 (M4.3) in a 98 (M4.4) but it isn't the best option you have.

[Jardim]

Yeah just get a tune.

[Domo]

the 96 ecu will just be used while the 98 is sent away to be tuned or I locate a 98 t5 auto ecu I can deal with the no a/c as its -32 here right now

I can't find a ecu locally here, just on ebay If you have one how much would you sell it for?

Does anyone know if this is the correct ecu code for a 98 t5 auto ecu
0261204458

[Domo]

or does the last three numbers have to be 451 or 607?

Yes, either one

[Domo]

another question, would the 16t chra and comp, fit on my standard 13g exhaust housing it look easier if this would be possible.

Same thing - UNLESS it's the 16T from a 01-on body - they have different coolant port positions.

I haven't looked to see what ECU's go for recently. I would want $100 shipped for the one I have.

I'll let you know, I'm working on a deal for a 98 16t comp/chra 98 t5 ecu auto (ecu code 607) and white injectors, All from the same guy

[Domo]

Update
bought
a 98 16t turbo no ex side
98 t5 ecu
98 white injectors
New ipd tcv
50ft of vacuum hose to replace as much as I can including stupid evap system
Boost gauge

Any other cheap sugestions?
