With that said...no one seems to know whether or not doing a complete transplant (17+ motor and 17+ ECU and harnesses) if that would just completely bypass all the trouble getting a 17+ motor to work in a 13-16 car.

You have to bypass the immobilizer from what I have read. From what I understand from steve99's post, the ECU isn't actually different hardware wise, but the ROM's are not compatible with the older cars immobilizer.

This car fired up for the first time TODAY "properly", however I am still convinced it isn't possible now, without the bulkhead harness too. After swapping back, and having to purchase a bunch of new 2017 parts(the old ones were not provided back to the customer, minus the ECU, which we obvisously had to bypass the immobilizer in)
