I bought a donor 2006 K74 Animal for parts, engine was run without oil, engine and turbo frozen.
I own a good working pre-FBW 1999 K74.

I want to transfer the parts of the fuel pump, turbo actuators, ... to my 1999 pre-FBW to achieve the power output of the 2006 animal.

Am i correct in asuming that I can move the fuel pump, intake manifold, turbo actuators and wiring to my 1999 pre-FBW to achieve the same engine setup as the 2006 animal?

Is the wiring for the fuel pump and turbo actuators seperate (in others words extractable) from the rest of the vehicle? If yes, I assume I can make a seperate wiring loom to mount those parts in my 1999 pre-FBW?

I dunno if anyone has done this before, so any help and tips are welcome

The wiring will be you issue as the fbw one has an ecu under the dash and it’s a lot to splice and mess around with, it would be easier to transfer the front of the loom to the pre fbw truck , next issue is the casting for oil pump on the front of the engine the pre fbw doesn’t have the mount for the crank sensor so it would also need changing. That’s about all I know about the difference between the two engines but there may be some more
