a set of G60 brakes wouldn't be a bad idea.  
you'll probably need a set of clocks and the key as the imobilser is built into them.

did i mention i just got an S4 engine?  

[marcus123]

yeh i got a reply for you mate on your thread chief,

so wat was your 1.8t out of mate?

thats an absolute steal to get all of that mate!

hey dizze i see you have a 20vt in your (sweet) mk2 did you have to move any mounts or do any strenthening. also what box did you use ?

[Dizzie]

I have the engine, but it's going in the tuesday after Inters. From what I've read online about the 20vT swaps the engine mounts are all the same apart from 1 that you'll need of a mk2 engine mount for one of the back ones. I'll try and find out which.

Mine's a Audi TT lump so obviously (unless I have a secret rallye/syncro project going on) I won't be able to use the TT's box so we're using a mk4 20vT one.

Strengthing isn't needed as far as I know. I'm going to invest in some strut mounts to tighten up the cornering though. they look cool too

Take lots of pics if you're doing this yourself.

good luck

hmmmmm dizie,

wats the project you have got underway?

mines underway too ------------>project g60!

[chasmk11]

dizze i spoke two bedrock veedubs in scotland and they said if i get a g60 rear mount it will fit the rear engine/box mount on the back

They also sugguested a passat h-m reg pedal box as the clutch is hydraulic and ours is cable

Let us know if you find anything else out of interest,
