I know I would have to install the ECU, reconnect battery and then turn the ignition on and probably other things too. Is this possible without damaging the ECU or any other electronics? Or is this even worthwhile? Are there any other things that might be relevant and good to know before I reinstall the engine? Or should I just wait until it's back together and running again?

Car is 2000 986S, 6 speed manual.
Durametric is Professional version.

Thanks.
Can you do it? Yes. Do you really want to do it? Perhaps not.

Unless you have literally everything in the car's wiring harness connected, and as soon as you power up the DME it is going to be fault code city. And you can only read cam deviation values with the engine running............
