no you need a 16v box...and if your changing to the 16v box get the driveshafts and hubs too and larger brakes...oh and its far more simple to fit a full rear axle (with discs)

I am believing your using a 1.8driver to fit a 16v engine too??

This got lost on the last page, lol

yeh im trying to put a 16v ABF into my driver...i suppose it would be easier if i find a gti that is whole but has issues...only reason im doing the convirsion rather than just get a gti is that this car has alot of sentimental value and ive done a fair amount of work on it
