abvsean 32 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 thought the mk3 .2.8 were obd2?you could use the 2.9 engine and convert it to obd2 for better tunability using certain parts from the odb2 car from my understanding Link to post Share on other sites

sedge 7 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 I'm running a mk2 vr6 that was converted using a mk3 set up which was running OBD2. About a year ago i swapped the engine out for a corrado 2.9 block.Kept all the auxilleries, inlet manifold, coilpack and electrics from the OBD2 that was already in the car and bolted it straight up to the 2.9 blockIs running no problem at all.
