Man, it must feel like you're getting shot out of a canon when that thing goes on boost. Yeah, wiring should be your only challenge. Were you planning on running an air conditioner system? That might also take a bit of effort to get working properly.

One really nice thing about the 4 cyl motors is that they weigh over 100 lbs less than the EG33. The 5MT tranny is also about 100 lbs less than the 4EAT. The weight distribution will be much nicer. You'll have to install some different suspension springs. With stock springs, the front of the car will probably sit a full inch higher with an EJ205 and a 5MT.
