Message	I have a 96 TT. What would happen at my next smog check if i swapped out my engine and ECU for a full 95 setup? The issue then is I have a 96 Chassis and VIN (which OBD II is required) but have a 95 engine/ECU (which would have OBD 1). I guess what would happen when they plug in?.....instant failure? Thanks in advance.
