After 260k + miles my engine (SOHC) bit the dust, so I did some research and went with a JDM 2.0. From my research, it looked like this would be a fairly straight swap with the original intake manifold, some sensors, cam pulleys, crank gear, EGR, and wiring harness. However, I didn't realize the JDM doesn't have the AVLS, so I'm wondering what else I can/need to do to make this 2.0 work for me.

I have a 2008 Forester X--bought a few years ago.
