Default vsa conversion?

i was wondering if it was possible to take the vsa system off of an ap2 and put it on an ap1 and make it work correctly. and what that conversion would entail doing. the reason i am asking is i have an ap1 but would like to have the vsa on it.

It seems like 99% of the VSA is inside the ABS unit. I have a feeling though that you'd need to convert everything over including DBW because the VSA unit can tell the ECU to reduce throttle. They talk to each other through what looks like a canbus.

Possible? Yes. Anything is possible with the right amount of money.

Practical/Cost effective? Hell no.

When was the last time you drove in an ice storm? I'd like to see you turn your VSA off and post up again....
