AW Tracksport or Dubshack both are fully capable of doing it (i think Dubshack quoted my mate Â£2500-3000 for a conversion).

Also look at www.polo20v-turbo.de

who do you think could carry out a conversion like that?

A 1.8t conversion on a mk3 is easier to do on a LHD model as the brake master cylindor sits above the gearbox and therefore doesn't get in the way of the head/cam belt housing like it would on a RHD>

^^You can see the brake fluid reservoir inbetween the metal boost pipe and airfilter just under the dump valve^^

^^Think about where the RHD reservoir would be in this pic!!^^
