No, they're REALLY different. Also stay w/ the specific ECU.
Use the FAQ and any other resources you can. Study about your car so you can fix it.

Yes, an s5 NA n351/2/3 will start and run your s5 turbo. You can even drive if you stay out of boost.

The easiest way to kill an ecu is to hook the battery terminals up backward.
