Subject:Re: FS: ECU and AFM for 2.1L

It seems to me that I've read that a 2.1 Digijet can be/is a good thing.
I've tried to review the archives and actively read the list postings daily
and while I can't find it again I vaguely remember reading that. Is there
any other recommendations anyone can give doing the swap? I'd rather do it
right the first time.
Thanks  Bob
