ya, you need to know the year of the engine or at least if its a series 4 or 5 like Sojin said because they differ in between them and then you can know which harness and ecu to get, but the ecu Sojin showed you is exactly what you need if it is indeed an S4 engine, and now you'll just need the harness for it

well for me the easiest way to tell is that S4 engines are supposed to come with a single TPS cable on the throttle body, and S5s have a duel... i actually found that out when i bought my car and asked around some on here, that would be the easiest way i think to tell

Look into Aaron Cake's(Member on forum..requires Search) threads on how to make a N/A into Turbo..(project TINA)..I presume that is what you are trying to do..Lots of good info there.

if you go to any of the clasifide sections on here and type in WTB (want to buy) turbo intake then you should probably get some hits, or anyone selling turbo parts probably has one there so you can check that out
