Karl, I have done this before and the AFM will swap over no problem.
However trying to use the 2.1l air box is too tight and actually pushes
against the two coolant hoses in the engine bay (no fun).  I modified a 1.9l
air box and attaches the 2.1l AFM to it.  Worked excellent and seemed to
give the 1.9l more power (probably just in my mind).  Just FYI.

Thanks,
Ken Wilford

Subject: AFM: question re: compatibility

Has anyone ever tried a 2.1 AFM in a Digijet system? Just curious if it
works, the larger air filter would be nice in the conversion I am finishing
up. BTW, reusing the 2.1 cooling system complete is VERY easy into the 1.9
body. A no-brainer, well, for me anyway.
