But also - is that a normal amount of orange lights on the dash?

Probably since the battery has been disconnected all the systems have to initialize and run checks, then they will go off.

They will go off after couple miles! The mechanic is going to test drive today and then I’ll pick it up!

Did you have to change the ECU since the engine is different?

Nothing needed! Simple swap

Looking at the phones - did they just use the Si engine block and swapped the turbo over from the blown engine?

@Pouyan Pasyar - Pretty sure the above question is relevant. If memory serves, the Si engine has slightly lower compression (10.3 vs 10.6), and the turbo has less blades (9 vs 11). I would think if you get a custom tune made, you'll be safe. Hell, even without.... you might be ok (provided you can avoid abusing it).

I’m getting it tuned! The AFRs were ok as I checked today. Knock didn’t go above .53 fortunately.

I’m using stock maf stock ecu stock tune! Looking forward to get a tune.

well the stock maf stock ecu is different from the SI to the Sport, so are you using the sport or the SI stuff.

He probably means Sport. As Micah implied, mismatching the two would not get him anywhere.
