A friend of mine is looking to swap a broken auto box from an A3 1.8T Sport over to a manual. Physically I'm confident that it's achievable, but he's questioning if the autobox "talks" to the engine ECU and whether it's removal will cause the engine to go into limp mode.

Can anyone shed some light onto the situation?
