Originality is dead

So you're using the Stock computer?

how much wiring is there to be done when installing this engine?

Also, why did you go for the M52B28 and not with the m50b25? and do you expect to have any problems with the VANOS?

M50 requires 6 wires to be connected, 7 if you have your tach rebuild to accept the ecu signal. Wiring it is basically easier than wiring an lh2.4 if truth be told.

I think there's only 3 wires to actually make it run. The rest are for gauges.

Awesome! So thats no big issue then.

Are you going to run Vanos? or do you delete it? and can the stock computer be programmed to suit a turbo setup after a reflash?
 
I just shortened the trailing arms. There's a thread on it somewhere. You'll also most likely have to shorten the driveshaft (mine isn't made yet), and you'll definitely need adjustable torque rods or your pinion is gonna be pointed through the floor.
