Carl 3 Report post Posted May 10, 2006 (edited) Yes it will E: Should point out that the issues surrounding g/boxes comes down to the crank angle sensors. The earlier motronic ran the sensor off the flywheel with the bellhousing having lugs on the side for the pickup where as later motronic setups run the sensor off the front pulley making the bellhousing lugs redundant. The point here is that not all boxes have the lugs for the sensor pickup. This means that if you've got the later motronic (which you do) you can use any of the boxes but if you've got the earlier motronic then you must either locate a compatable box or make accomodations for the sensor and pickup.
