so the answer is no - the DBW works by software in the ECU and controlling the throttle that way.  the earlier ones had a mechanical actuator

The 52 reg will be a dbw engine (electronic throttle body) the only things that will work is th stalks and brake / clutch switch. You need all the other gubbins, from a 2.5/3.0

Make sure you get the actuator unit with the correct  Bowden cable. Two different lengths depending on whether short or long plenum ;)
