there was no 86 Turbo FC3Ss,
But im guessing you have a 87 ( build date 86 ).
Are you just selling the ecu ? or including the other parts for the T2 swap such as MAF etc.
If its just ecu anywhere from $ 60-$ 150 just depends if you find the buyer who needs it badly

I don't really understand what you are asking. The ECU that is for your model is the best stock ECU. If you are meaning something aftermarket, look into the Rtek7 ECU from Digital Tuning.

ECU for turbo 13b
this thread reminded me of a question.
I want to swap my non turbo motor to a stock 13b turbo can i use the same ECU or do i change it to the turbo one?

It's just not very accurate on the gauge, plus the gauge is one of those that doesn't give you any solid numbers, so the gauge is either in vacuum or not. What I'm saying is that most people prefer an aftermarket gauge, and a good voltage meter is good to have as well, so you might be better served with a boost gauge and leaving the stock volt meter.

Believe it or not, as far as stock ECU goes, the TURBO ECU IS THE BEST FOR A TURBO MOTOR.
Who would have believed, eh?
N332 or N333 as mentioned before
I also have a N332 for sale as mentioned before
I also have a T2 gauge cluster if you want it. However, it does require rewiring to get it to work if you have a 86, since they dont have the dash harness to make it work. (as they aren't turboed from the factory) The same is required for the 87-88 cars.
There is nothing wrong with the stock Boost Gauge. IT is a a GREAT tool to know if your pressure sensor is functioning properly, and also valuable for daily driving (lay off the boost if you are crusing around town)
The gauge is accurate if it is functioning properly (i.e. returns to 0, key on car off)... maybe wonko just doesnt know how to resolder the few joints in the back of the gauge cluster?
The voltage gauge is useless. Really, if your alternator isnt charging, all your idiot lights will light up, and I am pretty sure you would notice how every light in the car is dim.... and I can assure you that is alot more obvious than a voltage gauge....
Plus, there is no reason to get extra gauges - unless you want to look like a retard with all the gauges hooked up. An aftermarket volt meter? Are you ******* kidding me? Do you have a rainbow gauge for the narrowband o2 too?

I kinda lost you with the rewiring...mine is a '89 non-turbo, still needs rewiring right ?
Let me ask you, do you know where i can find an online or in any forum wiring set up for the clusters especially if i need any addition wires or pressure sensors that i might need to get?
Also if i need to do anything soldering to the ECU.
Im going to stick with the Turbo II ECU and the OEM cluster look.
lol. i feel you with the add-on gauges.

im agreeing with slpin, if you use the stock boost gauge in the cluster it is a great tool to know if you are boosting right or if you are not, pressure sensors like to go bad all the time, hell all they are is hard plastic in a heated area, very possible for mess ups, i used an aftermarket boost gauge just because i know the pressure sensor is good cause i bought it BRAND NEW from the DEALERSHIP so i know its not junk, well yet at least, but thats why i have all the other gauges that will help me identify if i am having a boost leak

Is it possible you for you to snap some pics of the Turbo II cluster ?

But yes, it does need new wiring to get the stock boost gauge to work...
The FSM will provide you with all the wiring info you need.
S5 may also require the electrical manual - as they are seperated
They are all in the FAQ.

Unfortunately, I do not have a S5 T2 Cluster anymore...

the dealerships can sell the T2 cluster to you, it will be special order which means itll take time, and that will probably cost you a pretty penny cause hell its a dealer their gunna charge you on that

Not trying to be a dick at all*
but i read this thread and wow i feel like my little sister is asking questions. Most everything is common sence or you could use the search function and find it in a split second. I use the search fuction alot. Just think of everything as.
Turbo stays with turbo
N/A stays with N/a
So for a cluster. Go to the FORSALE/WANT TO BUY section* Post that you want to buy a s4 turbo gauge cluster. Buy one. Go to your FSM (FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL that you should already have) look up the gauge cluster wiring and you will clearly figure out how to wire the stock boost gauge.OR Buy a turbo motor, computer, chassis and engine wiring harness and cluster. But then if you buy a turbo motor you need transmission oh then a t-n/a driveshaft, ect ect ect ect ect. search button is your friend!
