I don't know of anyone who has ever converted a 4.6 Bosch to 14CUX hotwire injection management, but still used the Bosch intake. It might be a tricky proposition to install a full blown bosch system in a D90, since there is crosstalk to the BECM and security systems. I suppose it's possible to fool one into thinking it's still in a D2 or late P38. It's the kind of challenge I enjoy, but they don't give them away and anytime I have seen used 4.6 engine for sale, they never came with the multitudee of electronics from the car. Gas prices heading back up again has brought the plan of 300Tdi or 2.8TGV back to the front burner.
