I found a 2.8l v-6 from an Audi for a pretty good deal...

my questions:

is the Audi v6 drive by wire? Or is there a cable from my right foot to the throttle body in the Audi?

Which axles would I use? are the flanges anywhere close to the same as the 901?

What about starting the car? Will the Audi starter work?

Does the ECM from the AUDI control anything other than the engine? Does it take input from anything other than the engine?

As you already know, the 2.8 V6 is no great thing and not worth the effort.

The twin turbo 2.7 V6 is the one you want. (at least I want one!!)

As for your questions however;


The 2.7t is a drive by wire. You can get a cable throttle body from 034.

I'm not sure about the Boxster transmission sub axles, but there is a solution if you want to run the Audi / VW 012 transmission, which is nearly identical to the Boxster 5 speed. If you need the information, let me know.

Just use the Audi starter.

The factory ECU controls and requires all sorts of things!!!!!!! One is the key within the steering column. It controls the dash functions. Etc. A solution (if you don't have to pass California's smog check system) is to get a programable ECU from 034. They have a system for the 2.7t.
