It will take some tuning and you will need to add a wire from the PCM to the boost control. ZZ performance sells the wiring kit to do this. But the tuning will take a bit more work. You need software like HPtuners, or know someone near by that has it. Where are you located? As for your transmission. I don't remember if you have a 4t65e or a 4t65e-HD Same transmission, but the diff is different, as well as the right side axle.
the dash in the regal is digatal and the dash in the bonneville is not but both cars have all the same optians
and i got a friend who is real good with wireing he has a crapaleir z24 with a twin turbo 3.4 in it he is helpn me wit the swap
