2013 RS5 8hp55 swap

[shokwav09]

i was fortunate enough to come across an 8hp55 from a b9 rs5 and its a direct bolt up for everything after I find a different shifter cable. my concern though is ecu compatibility. I'm not concerned about whether I keep or lose the throttle kickback during downshifts but I am fairly new to ecu modification if needed. i just want to replace my dsg and am only upgraded my torque converter and clutch hubs to hold more friction discs. I've been told by a mechanic its all plug and play but wont deleting the cooling system for the dsg set off engine management faults?

How did this go?

Would you know if your engine shares a common bolt pattern for transmissions? Wondering if it’s the same as C5 RS6 which is a BCY or BRV engine code
