The one which has Jetronic printed on it is the fuel ECU, while the other one is the ignition computer. The third is indeed the ABS computer. I can't remember exactly, but I think the two engine ones are close to each other, while the ABS one is either on the other side of the car, or attached to the steering column, or something like that.

No, you need the older design of flywheel from a 91-94 manual 240, 740 or 940 with an "F" engine. Then use a 360 disc and 740 turbo cover plate.

The gearbox from the donor car is worth a few quid.

quick question because google can't help me so fast ;)

B23ET or B23FT (760 turbo), witch fuel should go into that?
95 or 98?

Yeah, turbo/non-turbo doesn't matter...it just needs to be from an "F" (or FT) engine (UK market, at least).

Good question, Mark. I think a B23ET was designed to fun on 96 octane leaded fuel (although the lead has nothing to do with it...just the octane rating), so strictly speaking you shouldn't put 95 in there...but everyone does, and it seems to be fine. Don't know about the B23FT...that was never sold in the UK.
