S5 N/A with S5 T2 manifolds question

I'm putting a motor in my car again.

I plan on going 6 port Turbo.

I have S5 T2 intake manifolds, injectors, fuel rails, and throttle body. Can i use the T2 parts with the n/a electronics until i get my ms3? I don't plan on putting the turbo on until i get the computer.

if you run a tII intake/keg/pretty much everything on stock n/a wiringharness and ecu you'll have so many problems I'd be surprised if it was even drivable.

I don't know why you would if you were just going to ms3 it. The engine not being in the car is a very good time to build the harness for it.

I didn't think it would be that big of a issue. The only things that I see that are really vital are the AFM, map sensor, tps, and cas. I can install all of these from my n/a stuff.

What other issues would I run into?

What's the point of going through the hassle before you are ready for a turbo? You'll have to remove most of it to replace the wiring and injectors. In the mean-time, the car will be gutless with non-functional aux. ports and a manifold designed for top-end airflow.

A TII LIM on a 6-port block is not going to be the best for flow. The ports don't exactly match up.

BAC air supply will require creativity if the intake is on the other side of the car. The intake setup itself may be impossible if you have power steering. There is very little room for a 3" pipe, AFM and filter in that corner.

if your runnong a standalone ecu then no problem. other wise kinda a pain in the but alot of grinding to the lower intake runners to match to the 6 port openings on the engine. then run wire across the engine bay to run the afm. just wait till you have the aftermarket ecu. and the other parts.
