hey man, love the work in this thread   

 a friend is currently in the process of dropping the efi 8v gti engine out of his mk1 ready for an agu 20vt swap from a 96 audi A3. giving him a hand with it as i plan on doing the same with my mk2. but we are both pretty baffled about the wiring loom.

do you have any kind of diagram or write up that could be of any use? you seem like the expert and best person to ask 

thanks in advance

Not caught up on this in ages... looking good... Are you going to be flipping the rear axle on it?

[F17BAD]

Didn't notice reply on here

Will be flipping the axle for sure

The conversion is. Iw completed but the engine needs a new injector (number 4)

The owner is also having issues with his G60 brake and cool over fitment. So we are gonna sort this for him :-)

What's the issue?

He has swapped to G60 brakes and hubs, he didn't realise swapping the hubs means you need the G60 ball joints and they have to be drilled to fit the Caddy lower arms, also the track rod ends need maching down and re-threading due to an insane amount of toe. Doing this has prevented the need for spacing tho as the hub sits pretty much inline with the arch now 
Also the Caddy Coily's needed adapting slightly to fit the G6o set up, all in all, a complete ball ache

A few pics of how the bays looking at the mo






The charge pipe on the left of this pic needs shortening slightly so as not to foul on the headlight once it goes back in

Not sure a out that boost run. 

Is that the only way it can go ?
