how do you wire the efi up to the 12a's wiring. do u have to make an adapter that plugs into the 12a harness on the car and then into the computer on the 13b engine?

I'm exactly in your position!

I'm working now on putting an S4 w/S5 rotors into my car. Got all the wiring harness laid out, I think? I know it's gonna be a bit of a pain but, after I get this one done I should be able to do it again, no problems!

I'll see how my swap turns out... I've got just about all the parts now. Just swapped a new FC fuel pump into my gas tank and I've gotta run a fuel return line and I should be ready to start the install.

Wish me luck!

If your just going to port the rotor housings, then the answer will probably be "no".

To make power, you have to port both the intake and the exhaust. The intake ports are very small compared to the exhaust.

how many horses do you think i could have? now its looking like it'll be a 13B with stock ports (145hp) header (ive heard its good for 30%....42hp? anyone actaually know?) intake (ill make my own) cold air...performance handbook says 7% (another 10 hp) and my exhaust pipe/muffler + race wires (5 hp?) that makes 202...those numbers are probably high, but i could be lurking around 200 hp. any input?
