    My son has a 2001 sedan, manual transmission with the AUG engine. The coil harness for cylinders 1-3 are directly connected to the coil pack, however the connector for #4 has some sort of extension jumper that wraps in a loop before connecting to the coil. In addition, there is a wire that...

    Hey everyone, I have searched and have seen different things. Has anyone here swapped an AUG out with an AWM? If so, how did that go, did anything have to be swapped over (Mounts, sensors, wiring harness, etc...) or did everything just bolt up? Thanks!
