It's a no-brainer.

Assuming you meant to type OBD-I --> OBD-II, the question is "why"? Other than a minor change in the A4 controls affecting high stall converters (not an issue with an M6), the main differences between OBD-I and OBD-II are the addition on numerous emissions diagnostics and higher self-tuning and data logging costs.

Or did you possibly mean to ask if you could convert your speed-density, batch fire 93 to the MAF, sequential fire system as used in 94 and newer?

sorry for the typo, i did mean obd1 to obd2.

it was just an idea i was tossing around because apparently finding a place to tune a obd1 car within 1000 miles of my house is impossible.

it looks like i may have to stick with a mail order tune for now

Go with the mail order tune, I've always been satisfied with PCMForLess.

???
Mail order tunes have been very very good for me. Especially in the "beginning" of mods and changes. "madtuner.com" or "PCMforless.com" are the two favorite vendors on this board.

You could get the mail order tune, run it on a dyno and send that info to the tuner for a perfect tune...

Any ways the money you save going with a mail order tune mean you can buy something that will give more then a few HP with the money you save.
