so this is my first swap and i was just wondering what i have to do for this swap. what mods would i have to do to make the engine work? can i use my stock a3 harness? also can i use my stock a3 ECU? due to lack of money can i use my a3 tranny? just trying to figure everything out. thanks

^^ this.

no swap is without its own set of quirks...some smoother than others.
i would put aside atleast 1k of "oh shit, i need to buy _______" money.

There's no way it would work without kpro?

check the vendors on here.
I believe you can get it for $650 and its worth every red cent, especially if you are getting a swap.

edit: THmotorsports seems to have a kpro thread. also have a phone number.
