Default Difference between valve covers

If any one has some diagrams or picture of the difference between a DBW valve cover vs. the Cable type. Thanks for the input if any.

The 00-05 have two cam sensors. The 06+ have one and it is a larger diameter. The 00-03 have a top mounted PCV valve that mounts in a rubber gasket. The 04+ have a side mount PCV valve, that srews into the side of the valve cover. It is in the same location as the 00-04 PCV valve.

In short, only an 06+ valve cover will work on a DBW car because of the changes to the cam sensor. All others can be swapped with the PCV valve being the only thing you need to change.
