Amazing progress.  Respect to your skills, especially with that manifold.  How far you going with the mapping?

yeh the 1.8t is a simple conversion really you can buy alot of the stuff now :/ i had to make the drivers side mount . and you can use the gti box and shafts . but i had to convert everythink to hydraulic clutch and move the chassis mount as mine was a 1.3

For a young lad you got some amazing skills...
