tbh its the way i'd prefer to do it, I just couldnt find much info about it. I found quite a few threads from other people wanting to do it here and on other forums, but the answers were all 'go qpeng'

What does that tell you?

Yep but given the choice oem managment is the better choice, much safer, obd port and other gains.

by factory management you mean 1.8t ecu and loom? would that just plug straight in or what? Im a bit ignorant to the electrical side of things, which is the main reason I chose to go with QPEng (that and I'm a lazy b@stard)

After speaking to LL about it, ive decided im gonna go

AUM engine with K03s turbo
02a gearbox from a 16v or G60
Ibiza clutch cable setup
ABF flywheel and a VR6 clutch
QPEng management
QPEng downpipe, which will need slight modification to fit a sports cat

get a g60 box apperently they have lsd
FMIC Intercooler
16v magnex catback system

what would need to be changed in this if I wanted to go for factory management? I wont be modifying anything more than whats listed above so it should be ok without a knock sensor?

I know what im doing with this now, I just need funding :)
Got a AUM ecu with a stage 1 map for £300 thanks to topher :) could of got a stage 2 for same price but been advised to start out with a stage 1 till everything is running ok

Gonna get a qpeng downpipe cut the decat pipe off and fit a mk4 GTi sports cat, then once thats done its pretty much what I said before, 16v box with abf flywheel and vr6 clutch, clutch cable parts from seat, AUM engine and turbo, 16v engine mounts, and a fmic intercooler and piping

Just got the car looking how I want it over the past week and got a jetex 16v catback fitted so all I need now is some money
