The Jspec harness will reach into the passenger (US) dash area. You will need to have an early series harness to make things easier on you. Re-wiring and pin modification will be necessary to get the car running properly. I'm not speaking from hear-say, I've actually done it... Good luck!

If the car is using the S6 rats nest. If you are single turbo than it does not matter.

why would you pay more for that , you can do that but there is nothing wrong with the JDM harness I did the repinning and its easy . all you need is half a brain and a pen and paper , the JDM harness is just as long as the usdm all you need to do is unwrap it , extend the water temp sensor wire , and you're good . with the modification to the pins .

also the JDM harness comes with emissions , which the JDM harness does not . so if you live in an emission's state It may be easier to get a USDM motor because they have all the emissions equipment

you will need to swap the emissions parts out of the USDM motor onto a JDM motor . you will need ot ask more experienced members on this as I bought a JDM motor with all of that already gone .

For the most part, yes but there are some differences:
