Injectors are the same, harness is similar. The turbo's are completely different, you'll need the ECU from the 313CDI.

If you can get a front cut then that'll help alot.
you'll need the engine complete with turbo, ECU and the turbo regulating valve (mounted on body). the valve may not be different, but i'm pretty sure it is.

The difference in the engines is in the tuning and turbo. The block, heads, injectors are the same

I think the 313 has an intercooler and the 308 doesñ´t.
