The engine wiring harnesses are significantly different. If you are considering a swap, you will want (at least) the complete engine harness and ECU. Most likely you will also want the electrical section of the factory manuals for both cars as well. Best bet is if you have a reasonably complete donor car to work with. Ideally, you will also have a very solid knowledge in the workings of engine control systems, particularly turbocharged engines, as they have definite peculiarities. Not a project for the faint of heart; once you start, you're committed to seeing it thru, or basically scrapping the car . . .

If you approach them with a bit of tact, most salvage yards will be happy to work with you in securing the parts you will need. Again, I'd suggest finding a donor car to work with.
