what kind of work are you going to do to get more RPMs? installing a standalone?

to answer the question, no it isn't a plug and play deal, the wiring is different, it can be done with some effort though. keep in mind the coolant temp is a 3 stage unit and not as accurate as the S4 also.

not without re-wiring the plugs

Other than that, yes it will work.

You may wish to use the search function found in the upper right hand corner of the page as this has been covered before.
