There is zero wiring, aside from moving your intake manifold harness over to the new engine, to run this engine if you use your stock ECU and tune by ECUtek...

Talk to Fineline imports in Santa Rosa, CA. They frequently get '99 and '00 STi motors...
hmm, after reading a lot of what others say, i decided not to do the jdm swap. However, after reading what you have said my hope is renewed. ill continue to search for that perfect v5 type R engine
