Yes, they're the same engine and gearbox combination. However depending on when your car was produced, the encryption levels on the ECU might be different, so one may be easier to remap than the other. The only sure way to tell is to give the VIN number to someone like DMS Automotive who can find out very quickly if it's high-level encryption or medium-level.

Incidentally, if it's high-level, very few places are managing to crack the code. Birds/Hartge is one, and the others as far as I am aware use external piggyback boxes.
