Welcome to the forum. :smiley: For details on engine conversions then somewhere like vwvortex website is probably agood place to start. There's some 1.8T conversion links in the garage section, but not 1.8 16V.

Hello & Welcome, i'm doing the same conversion, although i'm using a scirocco 16 inlet manifold to keep the fuel lines on the right side and for a factory look, i should have some pics etc soon, in the meantime here's my parts list so far:-
Fuel System
(Airbox-not too important) metering head/fuel distributor Fuel Injectors with fuel lines
Engine Electrics
Ecu & loom & sensors (knock sensor etc..) Distributor & ignition leads & coil
Engine Ancillaries
Starter Motor/solenoid & fittings
Alternator & fittings
Brakes (entire front system)
Servo & master cylinder
hubs/bearing/carriers/callipers/pads
Others
Gearbox
Exhaust manifold & downpipe
Water pipes/hoses
oil breathers/vacuum lines etc..
Speedo & rev clock
Its all a pretty straighforward swap apart from the exhaust system, you can get specially made manifolds for the conversion startring at about £220. but I'm going to cut and shut my mk1 downpipe to the 16v downpipe and just use the 16v manifold as i'm planning to fit a turbo next and that's going to need an entirely different manifold.
