I've never examined an auto ECU, but I would imagine they have different timing maps as well as other differences.As far as FWD/AWD there is no difference(that I have found) other than a resistor soldered on the board(r129 or r130 IIRC) that tells the MCU it's AWD, which seems to only remove the top speed limiter.
