And as far as T5 vs. T7, the T5 system uses less pieces, and is less sensitive to when they start to go.
If you haven't read it already, search for "How to T5 a c900, the easy way" it'll be the first thing that comes up.
T7 has lots of problems when the AMM and the throttle body start to get wonky, and AMM's are $305, and TB's are $405 to replace.
T7 is much more flexible, and it'd be kick-a$$ to be able to use the 'Sport' and 'Winter' modes, but there are also more sensors, and more to transplant. AND T7 will only work when paired with TWICE (I'm sure there are some ways to circumvent, but that'd be the time consuming part), so you'd need the keys and antenna for the security transponder.
AND all T7 uses the servo-controlled fly-by-wire throttle body, and has to communicate with the ABS and TCS control systems, and if you don't transplant them, it might be difficult to keep it from going into limp mode and lighting the dash up with CEL's.
T5 just requires the engine wiring harness and the correct sensors, which will supposedly all thread right into the B202 from a C900, and you can get the non-TCS version that doesn't have to have any outside communication with other systems to stay happy.
The control scheme with inlet air temp and manifold pressure is a little more flexible to sensors getting wonky and vacuum leaks and all that stuff, and will compensate for bolt-ons for more power a little easier too.
And there are less maps to tune to develop the software correctly....
Jeez, that went on way too long. Sorry.
Best,
Drew
