Went for Wossner low comp on the rebuild. Makes sense while you're spending the money if you want power and reliability

He ran this in his 2.0 16v G60 Corrado
With no problems. If how ever it starts giving me trouble I'll look into changing it.

Fitted the Pistons and oil/water pump. Lighten and balanced fly wheel and schrick sump.
Couple of pics of the HRT inlet manifold

I'm going to run my alternator underneath my supercharger again something that John has foreseen . Something like this generic picture..I think it looks neater and not much belt slack either.

I like your alternator positioning, it is a long run of belt with it mounted at the back isn't it. I'd imagine it's going to be tight for space at the front. Are you going to be using a twin pass intercooler then?. Cracking build

What kit have you got there for the serpentine belt tensioner arrangement and alternator bracket (assuming you didn't design and make it all yourself?)
Does it all fit OK around the engine mount?

This is how close my plate comes to the chassis leg, your tensioner arrangement is different but the pulleys will still run at the same point as the position of the G60 charger pulley determines that.
![IMG_0635.jpg IMG_0635.jpg](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/attachments/54c8bffd4b3e0.jpg)
I think that you are going to need to move the alternator inwards to line up with the G60 serp belt and run a slightly longer belt
I am not sure that the water pump pulley is too small as well and will run it too fast causing premature failure, this is the water pump pulley that I have, excuse the dirt !! I was after I pulled last time:

I'd defenately recommend a trial fit before spending lots more time and money on it only to realise its not going to work as you wanted it too when you finally come to fit it. Its a hard decision to make as it feels like your going back on yourself but worth doing now. Had i not done it myself i know for sure the engine would have had to come out again whilst i made a few changes to things. This would have been with a freshly painted engine bay too and id have scratched the hell out of it knowing my luck

Another potential issue is that the serpentine belt has very little contact with the water pump with that set-up, something to bear in mind.
This is by no means meant to undermine all your efforts so far but just wanted to share my experiences with you.
Looking forwards to seeing you progress with it. Its great to see another 16vg60 conversion taking shape.

I believe its going on all four pulleys. The alternator has a clutch so will only spin when needed..
