We always recommend staying with direct fit parts. Can you do it? Yes, but you will be changing many things to make it work, sensors, vacuum hoses, possible computer. What happens is you end up with more money into trying to make something work that if you got the right thing in the first place. Then after that, there always seems to be problems.

My profssional opinion is to keep it OEM.
