theres not too much you need customising.
engine mounts, intercooler piping and wiring harness are the major parts. Plus the brake servo at the back of the engine (but you dont need custom for this, demon tweeks sell three small pots you can use as alternatives)
Those pics look like they've had a filter put over them in photoshop. no digital camera would take pics that bad and the pixels be that square (my phone takes better pics than that)
what wheels/suspension are you planning on running? how did you get round the gearbox hanging so low?

right listen.the only pictures i have at the mo are camera phographs.now ive used a digital camera, placed the phographs in front of the digital camera then i placed them on this web site.the pics of my car are old pics, lots of work has been done since then, they were taken with my digital.
ive had new wheels 9" at rear 7.5" and rear disks.oh and fk suspension.dont forget the car only weighs 900kg.

Hi there...
Welcome to the forum!
Interested in this conversion as JBS Auto Designs keep pestering me to have this done to my GTi...
Did you use the S3 ECU and Clocks, or an aftermarket ECU (MoTeC or Emerald etc)?
Suprised about 10k, as I've been quoted 8k for everything... Anyway, you've had it done, I've not... So respect mate!
You didn't take it to the 'pod last week did you?

to be honest with you i dont like the pod.id only go to santa pod for the times, and i wouldnt do that as the car is for show perposes only.
as far as the other questions id ask jbs cus theyd know more about it then me
