The PE computer from an svo is a "plug and play" unit..the LA computers from the later turbo coupes arent..you have to do a little pin swapping, the info is all on the merkur encyclopedia...find there good stuff you will 8)

The LA3 swap works great. You can put the ACT into your upper intake without drilling it. Just use one of the fittings,(PCV) already there and reroute what you take out. Here's the pin swap info:
