ok have a few questions for you lot.

I'm looking at getting either a 1.9 8V engine or 2.0L 8V long stroke engine, not going for 16V now, what components do I need to change from my standard set-up from 1.8 GTI?

1. Oil pump?
2. Throttle body?
3. regulator?
4. Inlet manifold?

Any good links on this sort of upgrade would be helpful...? :)

Also does anyone know where I can get all new bolts, screws, washers etc for the engine?

Yeah he stills like to play around with cars, so it give him something to do. He wants to go the VR6 route for the golf... I don't (money and time side just don't really have.....)

Vr6 is all very well but there is nothing like the standard 1.6 engine that is in the mk1, although not quick it is better to have original in my opinion

Loom shouldn't be that different to your original one should it? Both are K-Jet, so I would have thought it was just a case of re-routing stuff :-\
