• Is the mk2 1.6TD a direct drop in?  Any modifications to the body, etc?  Thanks.

• The engine mounts are different between the two but not much else.  If you have all the mounts from the MK 1 the should be good.

• you will need a mk1 diesel style engine mount that has the ip bracket on it as well.

• downpipe may need some attention around the shift linkage i had to grind off a small part of the flange to get 2nd and 4th

• also all the coolant sensors/flanges are different as well. Just swap on NA ones from a mk1.
  The air box will give you troubles and you will probably have to move the fuel filter.

• the parts snags for me were:
  
  - mkI TD downpipe (bought a 2.5" one from passenger performance)
  - mkI TD airbox (got one from burn your money)
  
  another thing to consider is fuel filter location. proper spot for mkI TD is right by the downpipe with a heat shield but i did not use that location.
