Question S4/S5 ecu

Could you swap a S4 ecu into an S5? Would it work, if it wouldn't why not, thx

Pin outs are different (as are alot of other things). There is a writeup somewhere on re-wiring the harness for an S5 ECU, but its not a direct swap, and probably not really worth your time. FWIW, a remapped S4 ECU still wouldnt be worth installing in an S5. Its a different motor (compression and fueling wise).
