..Trionic. If it's a T7 Trionic, then it would be a h*** of a lot of work to convert. There are major differences between a T5 and T7. Basically, the T5 uses the MAP sensor and IAT sensor to calculate the air mass and add gas accordingly. It controls boost to a specific, preset boost mapping. The T5 also uses ion calculations for knock sensing only, whereas the T7 uses ion calculations for measuring cylinder pressures (the MAP sensor is only used for back-up/emergencies). The T7 is MAF sensor based. It has pre-mapped torque values that it will attain irregardless of boost pressure - in other words, it uses MAF sensor values to attain a target torque. Along with these design differences are hardware differences - I'm not saying it couldn't be done, just that it would require Herculean efforts to achieve!
