I've butchered a Passat downpipe here and have the top flange sitting around, still with the flexible joint on it.  You could cut off the flexi-joint and put this flange in as a spacer.  PM me if you want it - you can have it for postage.

i thought about doing same when i removed old downpipe but decided against it due to wanting something thicker
thanks for the offer though

sounds like something isn't right with your conversion, a std MK2 8v system wont hit the tunnel even if you fit a 2.0 block.  Did you swap the MK2 engine mounts/brackets to the 2.0 block?
