ECU and head are different

i.e. will not work, unless you do major mods

dont boost that junk *** motor, this kid that lives down the street from me, has a 04 si, cybernation turbo kit and is only runnin mid 14's. another guy i know has a 03 si and is jackson racing supercharged and best time is only a 14.3, these are both with 2.1 ish 60fts

that motor and trans is junk get rid of it, you can get a k24 long block for a grand and a type s trans for another grand put a grand into the k24 and your runnin 13.0 or better for 3 grand
