Yes. They're all the same. The other option is the Audi 3A block which
requires different accomidations.

You'll need a block off plate to cover a hole in the front of the block
.What orginally goes there, folks? I forget... You'll also need a longer
downpipe to compensate for the increased (16mm) deck height of the
block. I believe that you can buy a spacer to accomplish the same thing.
I'd go for the downpipe, though...

You'd probably want to splice in a knock sensor system to keep things
friendly.
