This would depend on your particular car, and the manufacturer's method 
of setting up computers for different vehicles/drivetrains.  They may 
use the same part number computer for many different vehicles, and just 
reflash the firmware for the specific app.  Or they may have a different 
part number for each different combination.  Short answer, I don't know.
