I need a definitive list of stuff ??
the KR engine does indeed bolt it with the same bolts of the older 8v that came out, but lets face it, thats where it stops.
1) I've sourced a 4-1 manifold that runs close to the steering gator so i need to protect that but also need to find a center section and back box for it that have a 50mm ID - any ideas or should i just roll a cone shaped reducer and weld it in ?
2) I've made the k-jet fit under the bonnet by chopping the airbox down rendering it useless, i may fold a new box up in ally that sits over the chassis leg but i cannot feed it with fuel as i cannot connect the fuel lines - any ideas ?
3) I've lowered the car off the axle stands and the weight of the engine has dumped the car right down onto the bump stops upfront, what coils will lift it back up again, mk2 perhaps? do they even fit ?
4) do i need to replace the old fuel tank with a GTi one or can i just put the lifter pump in the one i have or do i need to get a new pickup/filter with a lifter included ? if so where from ?
5) i've sourced a fuel accumulator and bracket but i need an external pump, anyone have a part number of one that is suitable ?
hopefully this list will help others thinking of doing the same as these items alone make it not just a 'bolt in job'

Gti lift pump and sender - £20 - £40 2nd hand just post up in parts wanted or ask people breaking a car
take it your car is on carbs then or small block. I have cheap Jom coils on mine with 2ltr in it and its fine.
Also ask this question in modified section you will get more help there

don't know how you have managed to render the airbox useless ?? aslong as the filter is in there it will still do the job, unless the one you have is a post 90 airbox, as you need a pre 90 that isn't as wide and just trim the bottom …

I've answered literally hundreds of threads on 16V conversions, and one day I wrote a bunch of articles which were an attempt to create a second version of the FAQ. This included a comprehensive list of the parts required. I'm sure I copied and pasted the list to this forum, and pointed to the link, many times. Nothings been deleted off the forum, so its all still there….just a case of opening your eyes and searching for it, reading up on it, etc etc
If you want an easier to follow, handholding guide, then someone's going to have to write one out.

And as matts said use 2branch unless going for power, its cheaper and safer. Although my thread resolving the issue is there to copy at leasure and works fine.

I'm not looking for hand holding, there are people on here who have been great at answering my questions and providing parts, i just got frustrated at being told it will bolt in as i was naive to all this ! I like to ask questions to reassure i'm doing the right thing (I do search for answers first but getting the exact phrase that someone else may have used is not always possible !)

The airbox is easy and simple, can even use mk1 airbox if you balls mk2 one up.

The 4-1 i believe is an ashley, might not be its not branded, but i got the extension pipe with it but need to find a center section thats the same size as it, thats proving hard.

2. use pre-90 16v airbox, cut bottom down. use 90spec 16v upper boot or stretch your old 8v boot over. my cabby ran all year like this just fine, see my build thread. for fuel lines fit mk1 filter carrier to front of airbox, use all mk1 feed and return lines to it. then either bend mk1 main lines to driver side, or make your own, or buy crazyquiff mk1 16v lines
3. std mk1 gti spec stuff, just wind the coilies up slightly. the engien isnt THAT much heavier than mk1 k-jet lump
4. 2 choices, either fit mk1 gti tank and L pipe to main pump, or fit late cab/rocc or g40 polo lift pump and fuel reservoir to your carby tank
3. anythign that is mk1 type and injection, also lots of other manufactueres use inline pump on their k-jet cars, merc, porche, ford, audi etc.
