im running a rs2k i4 in my mk4 on a cvh box so if its identical (which i believe it is due to people using the 2.3 bottom end) then yes it fits no problem.
BUT the clutch spline from a rs2k clutch do not fit the cvh box as they splines are too big. but the flywheel is the same size and bolt pattern as a 1.6 or 18 silvertop zetec so you can just bolt that up and use a zetec or rs turbo clutch. wouldnt reccomend using a cvh box with a 2.3 unless your using a very strong uprated cvh box as the torque will kill it in no time at all. my box has been ok so far but its only running standard power and i drive like an 80yr old most of the time and its only been in for about a month so time will tell.
