That dent in the back shouldn't be too bad a repair dave. Get king Kai on the job, theres nothing that man cannot do  :grin:

I can totally imagine Kai removing that engine on his own, he's so quick that by the time you've lifted a spanner the jobs done  :shocked:

Whats the engine from mate? Is it an AGU? Or did you spunk an obscene amount of the queen's paper on a BAM?

Collected the engine and bits tonight. Turns out the new mounts are actually for a mk1 so need to buy suitable ones. Been recommended a mix of 16v and g60 ones so will get them ordered.

The wiring loom looks enormous! Rather daunted now
 

Wiring not too bad. I am well into it now. Any probs let me know.

Thanks for the encouragement guys.

Adi, keep forgetting the engine code auq possibly. Ends in a q anyway. It's the 180 lump from a seat with the k03s turbo.

edit, it is an AUQ

Might as well stick a ko4 on there while it's out. :evil:

I am happy with double the power for now gaz. Thinking turbo and imjector upgrade next year.

I think it will probably benefit more from an LSD rather than more power!

I agree mate. No good having power if you can't put it down.
I'm going Peloquin in mine as they're not too badly priced and have fantastic reviews.

mk1 leon cupra R engine I believe. Good starting point, better than an AGU anyway

Agu is the big valve head. Just missin the k03s and it would have been a better option
