Thats intimidating! I would pay someone for sure. No wonder it costs thousands to get done, must be labour intensive.

good thanks.

found out off some other conversion places they use a custom made throttle cable as you can see mine is a little on the tight side. I also found out the 1.6 carb cable is slightly longer than mine, so nipped tore down to the local stealership to get one.... about an hour later it was installed and setup and working fine. looks better too  :cool:

if you're going for big power get the AGU 150bhp engine. larger valves work better over 300bhp. the 225 lump is good for 270bhp with a remap. 290-300bhp with a couple more mods.

lots of VW/audi breakers have the engines or theres the various forums they are for sale.

I had a swap with the AGU engine and it flows so good. it will cost you alitle less then the BAM (225 hp TTQ engine). there are some difrences betwin them but the AGU is your best option i think.
