T5 '95 to T5R '96 Engine 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be Ray N. on  Tue Jun 24 06:26 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Much of the T5R's engine additionl power came from software.
It runs additional boost for a limited amount of time (I think
10 seconds but have heard other numbers). So you would need the
ECU (sounds like you don't have it). The original turbo engine with
an ECU from IPD would have as much (or more) power then the R model
and might be the way to go with fewest headaches (unless you have
found a real deal on the R engine).

I recall the R model's ECU's might be harder to get at. Thats a
vauge memory. You might need to research that.
