TDI in a Toyota pickup - now with pics
Hello everyone!
I am starting a motor swap for a 1991 Toyota 4wd truck. The donor's engine was a 3VZ with a blown head gasket & an automatic tranny.
So far I have collected these parts:
Toyota R-151F tranny & transfer case to withstand the extra diesel torque
VW 1.9 L 1Z TDI motor from a 1996 Passat
Motor-Tranny adapter kit from ACME adapters
So far, the only thing I have had difficulty obtaining is the ECU. I did find a list of ECU numbers:

There are quite a few ECU's for 1Z engines, many being Audi 80's or Golfs, for example.
Would these ECU's work for just the engine, even if they came from a different vehicle?
