mk 4 gti 2.0 8v conversion to 1.8 20v turbo, help and advice plz

Does that run ?

The parts that are missing will need to come from the 1.8t, not even sure if the air con will swap over.

lol yeah did run before crashed, everything was there before i started stripping it, already removed the smashed front end, rad intercooler, ecu, loom and various other parts,

Your 2.0 will probably have the same clutch slave cylinder as the 1.8T.

Just swap everything over.  Rack, ARB are the same I think, wouldnt make a difference.

Engine out, put in new car, shafts, exhaust and brakes and wire it in.

any idea if there is any modification needed for the engine mounts, i think its just a straight swap over, i have all the 1.8t mounts anyway if need be,
hoping to do some more on it over the weekend, weather being ok, will post some more pix and updated as i go along,

does anyone know if i can program my origanal key to operate the new ecu, realy want to keep my one key that fits everything, the donor car has 2 keys one for ignition and one for the doors,

ok so took the engine out the 2.0 8v today and started stripping out the engine loom for the 1.8 20v t loom to go in, but now av hit a couple of problems, after starting to put the new loom in i noticed there is a few differances, the 3 plugs that plug in under the wiper motor, 3 colours were brown orange and green originally, but the new one is brown orange and white, ( the white one dont fit and has less wires in it) and also the 1.8 loom has a connector plug on the right side under the plastic covering as it enters the engine bay, that now has nowhere to plug into, please can anyone help, i need to get this sorted asap,
thanks in advance if anyone can hep point me in the right direction.

its probably just the angle, but that head doesn't look wide enough for a twin cam / 20v?

i see what you mean from the pick but it is, its AGU  engine code,
has anyone got any info on the wiring issue?
