Whys it getting scrapped?

Rs 500 cooler for sale maybe?

As long as you put all the stage 3 stuff on yours then the ECU will be fine to plug in, best get it set up just to be on the safe side though.

2wd will be straight swap, ie L1 & L6
2wd to 4wd or vice versa you will have to do a tiny bit of wiring on the TPS by swapping the outer two wires around and installing appropriate TPS, as one swings LOW at WOT, while the other swings HIGH at WOT.
So NO unless all the same drive(2/4) NOT straight swap.

Well insurance company have written it off so gonna be taking engine out with all the stage 3 running gear..

I will get it set up once all the bits are fitted to be on the safe side..

So as mine is a 3dr and 2WD, there should be no problems then?

If his is 2wd the ecu can be used, if his is 4wd(you don't say) the mods will have to be done.
Just have a look at the pin positions in the ecu plug to make sure they are the same positions, as never done one but a guess would say yes.
Easy stuff though and well worth while.
