If your ecu is red then the answer is red!

'92? well, then blue is your friend, I guess.

if he has a red atm then a red is the best replacment, it's a crossover turbo so the wiring might not be correct for the blue ecu to work. i would only recomend you replace the ecu with one the same colour as the one you have, then the fuel ecu is matched to it! I do not recomend mixing diffrent ecu's, if you buy a diffrent colour one and it doesnt work you will be really anoyed!

I fully agree with the remark that changing EZ210K's may cause problems. But it happens that the crossover '92 will run with the blue one. More important is, that the correspondent Jetronics ECU is used. In general, every color exept orange will do it's job. This one needs a different flywheel pickup.
The later blue combination needs the lambda sonde to be attached.

Hello.

I ran a red (maroon) richmod ecu in my '95 (which should have had blue) It ran fine, but when the Richmod kicked in it was like someone switching the on switch. I then ran a Blue Richmod which was much better stepped. I would however stick to the correct colour ;) HTH
