Default y8 head swap questions

I took the y8 head off today, and will be putting it on my a6 bottom end. (mini me swap) Heres a couple questions i got.

Could i use the y8 intake manifold with the y8 head on the a6 bottom withjout switching to obd0?
For activating vtec, i can use a buddy club vtec controller, correct?
If you guys coule help i would appreciate it. THanks

You don't ever switch to OBD0 to control VTEC, what have you been smoking?

just note that the cam timing will be off unless you know the correction method, and the head bolt nearest to the vtec soleniod is differant than the rest.

It's the same thing that causes half the Y8 timing homosexuality with OBD1 conversions... I talk about it in every fourthnon GD post I make, so expect no help from me either.

Hey pry just means that you have to set the timing. If i have learned the info correcty, any d series bottom will mate with any d head with the same timing.
