Title: just another quick one
Post by: golf mk2 tornado red on 29 August 2007, 20:30: i thought about putting a 8v in my 1600 which i had to buy down to insurance
how much work do i have to do .i can get the lump and box loom n ecu
would i have to change fuel lines and pump in tank also mine wont have a lift pump will it and gti will. i was thinking about getting a whole car for the little bits as i need a roof liner and black carpet.

just how much work is this

also ive been offered a 1800 weber will that direct swop onto mine and what will i notice

cheers mark
