Spun transmission bearing is very unusual, you are correct about that. Devil's advocate is asking some good questions.

Actually, for a 95 all we need to know is: does your engine have EGR?

ECU number is entirely irrelevant. It wouldn't hurt to confirm it is a 2.3 (HPT) engine, not a 2.4 that someone snuck in there on an engine swap, but that wouldn't change the fitness for an R ECU.

Bummer but it sounds like time for another complete head. And another round of at least new valve stem seals, have them do a valve job at the same time if you can stomach it etc. Interesting that the cam covers can't be swapped but it is no problem at all to swap cams around, those are machined to t...

It is posted all over the forums that the P80 cam cover is matched to the head, and they should not be mixed. That said, people have also posted up about mixing them just fine, and I don't recall if I've seen a post where mixing them was a problem. Doesn't mean it will work for you, but it gives hop...

In case I wasn't clear enough: don't get one from eBay! Get it repaired.

You could get one from eBay but the solder joints are going bad on all of them just get it repaired. A hundred bucks to repair the module expertly and permanently: https://www.midwest-abs.com/

In the meantime, it is fine to just drive it without ABS.

Yep, I'll be changing my exhaust flange.. I think the angle flange flows a little better than the straight. Seem like I read it in a Fast Friday post. If it wasn't this forum maybe it was Swede speed? Yes, angle-flange flows better than straight, you will find this archived all over the internets. ...

The exhaust flange matters for install yes, but you can just swap the current flange over from the old turbo to whatever new turbo you get.

So if you're not changing the downpipe, flange doesn't matter just grab a 15g.

This kind of sunroof swap has been done many times: all P80 are the same, sedan or wagon.

The clone file is already out there, freely and widely available, that is not limiting.

Do we just need someone with hardware to do this for $25 plus USPS shipping?

How about it wcm - are we game??

Yes.

Cutting the ECU harness out of a P80 car makes it much easier to set up the hardware.
