for the a3
and i were to engine swap to the a2 later
if they would go on

i read somewhere that they are the same
just making sure

otherwise ill swap engines first instead of waiting a while to do it.

One of the inlets for a hose that goes to the valve cover might be different, but its still not a problem. I bought a cheapo RSX-S intake for my EP3 and that inlet was my only issue. But it may have been just because its a cheap ebay POS.

As for header, (since you mentioned "bolt ons") the Type-S header will fit onto the head of both A2 and A3 but the piping length is different so you may run into issues there having to do some simple modifying to the exhaust
