the original ECU is set up for your old 8V engine .. the starter should still work and fuel pump as long as the wiring is the same .. there is a 4 year difference .. but the ECU setting for fuel/air ratio EGR etc. etc.. will be totally different for a 16V engine ..you need the ECU from the donor car for the powertrain to work correctly once running again !!
