conversion akl to agu

[mitch18]

hi im looking to do an engine swap from akl (1.6 8v) to agu (1.8 20v turbo) can anyone help me im wandering how much work is involved. I used to be a mechanic and am a trained welder so I know my way around a car, its the electrics that are getting to me is it just a plug in job or do I have to splice looms?

I can get engine, box, loom,ecu and clocks, is there any other parts I need?

i'd try get gti brakes aswell. from memory it's not just plug and play but it's nothing to serious. go check out this thread. everything you'll need to know will be in here. Stan's Epic Golf Build: 1.6se becomes 1.8T
