What is the budget like? You can send your pump to Giles to have it rebuilt and tweaked. Most people report noticeably increased power as well as increased mileage. Talk about win freakin' win. :twisted: I think burn_your_money can vouch for this as I'm pretty sure he has an N/A superpump.

Yes on all counts. LMK if you want a ride in it
The gasser ones might work. I don't know what the temperature ranges are for the senders
Cheap upgrades would be a dual outlet exhaust off a early rabbit, or a scirocco, modifying your air box/tube, tweaking the pump (that could end up expensive though if you turn the wrong screw too far), Getting the injectors rebuilt should be almost at the top of your list of things to do, right after timing belt. A properly finctioning set of injectors will yield better power and economy. And then there is the beautiful mysterious injection pump. $750 for a performance overhaul on the NA, so definitly not cheap, but 100% worth it

HEY GUYS!
Does the motor mount stay on the engine from the diesel and bolt to the frame of my car in the same spot? because they are definetly different front mounts... thought it was a drop in job??
Well i dunno the car to me is def worth 450.. we decided on an extra 50 bucks for a rad, alt, and starter.. plus a bunch of other stuff thats gonna come with... he ditched it in nov. 2006 started for the first time today.. first crank!! WOOT
What exactly needs to be done in the order of actually swapping?? like do the mounts realllllllllllly line up?

All of your mk1 mounts are the same, except the passanger side diesel one. That needs to be a mk1 diesel mount.
You should really replace all the mounts while they are out.

You should have no worries if they only have 3000 km's on them, provided they weren't damaged when he crashed it. 300,000 is a different story.

You can't use those mounts, you need to use the mk1 motor mounts on the gasser

cheap EGT monitoring!?
What would be the best to monitor EGT's? cheapo wise.. lol Im all up for being able to monitor them, and i plan on doing the simple mods that will alow me to reach 1400 degrees but rarely use it.... just to be able too id rather have the MPG then performance you know?
Can i do all the small free mods, and not use them? most of them are WOT enhancements arent they??
