 This used to be a popular swap for a while back when the EVOs were new.  The interest seemed to die down a bit as guys started playing around with ECUFlash and EVOScan. ​ But for some reason, we're getting more and more requests for this information lately. This used to be a popular swap for a while back when the EVOs were new.  The interest seemed to die down a bit as guys started playing around with ECUFlash and EVOScan. ​ But for some reason, we're getting more and more requests for this information lately.

 +FWIW, I run with a 2G ECU in my own daily driver EVO8 using the same information below. ​ It all works very well.  Now that the fans have been addressed (see below), I have absolutely no problems driving the EVO8 on a 2G DSM ECU.  It drives just as well as it does on the stock ECU.
