Re: NEED NEW ENGINE - ANYONE REPLACED 180FWD WITH 225 ENGINE

I have found a 2001 225 TT with 20,000 miles on clock engine. It contains the block, ecu, dials, ignition key, battery, coolant tank, x2 intercoolers, radiator and absolutly everything in the engine bay for $4176 USD equivilant.

Would 225 through the front wheels need traction control system or would it be OK?

I would expect that the 180 FWD and 225 Quat have exactly the same engine compartment with brackets not used still hanging out etc where the bigger engine parts fit in.

I would connect this to the standard 180 exhaust however would I need to put a new chip in or could I just put in the 225 ecu in????
