An ECU will require a proper tuning computer system. There a several available on the market. Then the car will require a DYNO test to allow the engine's turbo to be calibrated according to the response of the engine. This allows for the best fuel, air, and spark readings.
Depends on how the ECU controls the turbo. If the ECU never lets the wastegate open, the turbo may overspin, which will damage it. On Audi/VW cars, a bad tune can cause an overlean condition, which melts the wastegate flapper door. This will cause your turbo to not boost.
Yes it will make your life much easier to have the turbo ecu and harness. The turbo injectors have a resistor pack that the non-turbo engines do not use. So that would have to be manually wired in to use stock turbo injectors and ecu.
Yes
Yes you can you will need to get the non-turbo engine, non-t ECU and wire harness. The wire harness and ecu are diffrent between the t and the non t.
Yes, the engine can be installed and bolted up. But-- use a turbo ECU with a turbo motor, and a normal ECU for a normal motor. There will be small differences between the cars regarding wire harness install, and small emission bits. Try to preserve as much of the original configuration on the car as possible-- that is what the ECU is expecting.
Buy a turbo. Change exaust , change manifold , change air intake, reprogram ecu.
GST ECU is designed for turbo. you will have problems with ECU, but nothing that can't be resolved. It's a pain, but it can be done with minor motor mount mods.
To answer this question, you need to call Mr Turbo at 281.442.7113!
It's more about the tune-if you have enough fuel, strong enough pistons/rods/crank, etc., with the correct tune, you can have a huge or a small turbo on an engine. If you just put a bigger turbo on a vehicle and do not add fuel and tune, your engine will suffer.
as far as using the supercharged focus head, im not too sure. but the turbo charged head, yes, it is the same thing, just built for boost. im not sure if the 2 heads are different for turbo to supercharger. but i would say use the turbo focus svt head and TUNE IT, TUNE IT, TUNE IT. then after you tune it, tune it some more. P.S. did i mention you need to tune it?
The ECU is located underneath the wooden panel/ underneath the carpet on the passenger side, below the glovebox
There's no physical difference between a Porsche Turbo and a Porsche Turbo S beside the ECU tuning. Many of the options you would pay for on the non "S" version are standard on the Turbo "S"
