Think it's fairly straight swap, I think there are two different connect starters so make sure you get the right one. Some also wrap the manifold to protect the starter.

You wouldn't happen to know which one is the one I need?

You will need to change the connector on the small wire.

litterally only just done this on mine, mine was a straight swap, wires and everything were direct fit, made a big difference, starts and turns over ever so quick no matter how hot, a big must for any rs turbo owner!
