best way to say it is...if you want to fit the 02a type box (16v to you and me) then get one from a seat ibiza as it will be easier to fit and stronger than the 8v box ![wink :wink:](https://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/Smileys/modern/wink.gif.pagespeed.ce.Y6rcFPrLO5.gif)
yep.
i can add that cable clutch conversion on the hydro clutch ftw! so easy to do and only requires a part from the dealer. cant remember what the part no is though.....
its off a transporter and i think a passat too.
also i'd say 280mm brakes will be more than suffice for road use.
oh and as for converting a drive by wire 1.8t engine, just need a mk3 8v gti throttle body, thats all that qpeng supply anyway. save yourself some money and get a used for like £5.
i agree, the 1.8t conversion can be done for under £2000, but along the way it is worth replacing a lot of parts with new ones and also upgrading lots of stuff. so i'd say be prepared to spend £3000-£4000.
if anyone wants any more info or has any specific questions about the 1.8t conversion, please ask!
