NA to Turbo Swap with AC, B230FT

[Fa182]

The '563 ECU in my parts pile is original and has a factory socketed EPROM.

Interesting, the Chipping FAQ thread says otherwise for the 563 ECU, so that seems wrong then.

The turbo and NA harnesses are different but not by much. The power wires come in on different sides of the car due to that battery and airbox being swapped. This really isn't a problem and you can just extend the wires.

You'll also have to extend your MAF wiring as it is on opposite sides. The turbo harnesses also had this little heater to prevent icing (never thought I'd see this outside of aviation haha) going right into the turbo but a lot of people just remove it with no problem so you should be good.

Thanks for the images.

I'll probably have to abandon the A/C because the temperature sensors inside the car are either burned or brittle.
If I use an NA car, is there a way to still use the heater later for the Turbo?

Also, is the harness ready for a 4-gear overdrive, and is it possible to extract the ABS harness from my car to use it later on an NA?

You can also just use a manual heater control unit. The AC just gets power from the board when you hit the button and goes through the low pressure and high pressure switch. It's really simple to wire in.

This type of unit ? Is there maybe an existing thread or info on it? I really have two left hands when it comes to electrics.
