I'm not sure how to type in a whistling sound, but that's what I'm doing. Looks VERY good. It must have taken some time to round up that TD steering wheel and grill badge. Nice job!

Good you are closer. Ill just wait.
PA is alot closer then the UK anyhow.
Ill toss a pipe wrench in the seat so you can still get to work.
I also park my Jeep inside..so its never locked.

THANKS lads for the comments,the swap was quite easy really,im a mechanic so its not too bad for me to do :wink: the fuel pump was new 8 months ago at £1000 fitted,the engine was a vw exchange and its got the tdi crank in it,so i was really lucky,the clutch was 2 months old,the golf cost me £300 off ebay as a mot fail
so the cost is not too bad.I have put the mk3 5 speed box in so fingers crossed it will be geared ok :?: i have not drove it yet as ive only got the downpipe on.I will let you know how it goes.
The steering wheel center bit is rarer than rocking horse poo,that cost me 75 euros from the south of france,and the grill badge was £10 off ebay.
I might go intercooled?

Hi guys,i have drove the TD now properly,i must say it pulls as well in 5th gear as it does in 3rd,im going to put a boost guage on it to see how many psi i am getting,also there is no visible smoke when i floor it,i have only touched the aneroid pin to allow more fuel under boost,everything else is stock,and i am very pleased with the results.Just thought i would let you know.
Cheers for all your help
Bert
