i hate wiring but once you get stuck in with the loom its not to bad at all, although i removed the big lump of ***** attached to the 1.8t loom as standard lol which makes extra work but looks better in the end. and an unlocked ecu means no immo to deal with

Ball part figure how much start to finish ? And how many hours ?

all depends if youve done this sort of thing before. doable in a day or 2 if you have everything at hand and get stuck in. or could take a year of saturdays lol
engine even if you bought seperate say £350 including loom
ebay cast manifold £80
used garret t28 £100
downpipe/exhaust £??
capable injectors £50
intercooler £50
mounts £100?
better fuelpump £100
4 cylinder radiator and pipes etc £30ish

bound to be more but thats the jist of it. obviously if your paying someone to do everything its gonna get expensive

If your gonna do this with a 1.8t lump just buy yourself a written off a4 or something with the engine, loom, Ecuador etc all together then you have everything you will need and know they are all compatible and stuff. Even better if you buy one you can drive so you know it all works fine. An a4 1.8t can be picked up for peanuts in comparison to buying the items separately. Then you get to sell or weigh in the rest of the car and get a small return plus all the goodies you need for yourself.

If I was to go ahead I would be doing it with two of my close friends. Both of which have done countless engine conversions, in your honest opinion which is the better 1.8t lump to have ? I know there are loads of different ones, not including the BAM and things of the sort. I'm sure you guys will help via the forum etc .. This has been the most appealing idea so far. Cost wise ...

aeb from a4/passat/a6 as its already the right way around and its got a throttle cable rather than drive by wire

[R5T]

Looks like this is the way to go then .. Bang for buck it's going to be the best route realistically isn't it ..

Hi

One xtra question
Your quattro is it a v6?
If so going to have to weld brackets to chassis rails to take engine mountings or make specail engine brackets to to use excisting brackets

Cheers
