Swap out black label ECU for blue?

I have an '85 SPG which has the ecu with the black bosch label (0 280 000 515). Someone told me that if I could find it, I should change it for the ecu with the blue bosch label because it reacts faster.
I found one at the junkyard for $35 so I picked it up (0 280 000 538). I stuck it in while I was there just to test it. It started, the idle was a little funky - hunting up and down a bit and when I touched the brakes, opened the sunroof or used the windows it would also go up. I took it on the street and there was quite an improvement with the turbo - noticibly improved accelleration. I pulled back into the parking lot. Shut down and when I went to restart, it would start, I could hear it misfiring a bit and then would die.
I re-attached my original and kept the "new" one anyway.
Does anyone know if there are any compatability issues with the ecu's or if I need to re-adjust anything to make the blue label box work?
Thanks
