Not sure on that, sorry

 is the kh flywheel setup going to be the same as the

Should be, even if they are different, you should be
able to swap aroung most 5cyl parts.  The crank and
flywheel are balanced seperatly which allows you to do
this.

It's really easy, all you need is an allen wrench, and
a generic clutch alignment tool from any locaal auto
store.  If your changind the pilot bearing, you may
need more.  Maybe someone can do a quick writeup and
put it in the KB?

BTW, can we get a link to that on www.audifans.com ?
I've already lost the URL

Mainly the shared ones.  #1 cyl has 1/3 of the
collector all to itself, leave that one alone and hog
out the other two.  Actually, If you'd be interested
in buying mine, I'll sell it now since I'm confident
that the header will not have to come off for any
mods.
