then, IMHO you should go with the AGG/ADY option.

once installed it's easy to service, work on etc..  you already have all the fitting kit as you're starting from a diesel.

Define the brief.

What do you want to achieve?  What's the most important factor (fuel economy/speed/torque/budget)?  

Unless you can clearly state the problem then you can't find the correct solution..

your issue is going to be the pump providing extra fuel on boost.  AEF's have the lucas pump, with the 1Y variant (bosch pump) I would simply up the fuelling to provide more over the rev range, or source a JX pump and Injectors / AAZ pump and injectors.

keep on chap, watching this with interest

Don't worry, most of have been there!  VW introduced a "fix" for the sub standard bolt, but it is still a one time use I think.   for ease look for a 1Y (1.9 non turbo) engine to swap in.  I usually have a few of these for sale, but at the moment I have nothing r...

how handy are you?  Buy a knackered/damaged caravan and do a salvage job>?

Tom, fill in your rough location in your signature, there's loads of us on here that are au-fait with the joys of an IDI engine.

tappets leaked down - oil drained out of them..

Go and give it a thrash for ten minutes

do you have the H bar setup and reinforcing plates??

Chap, even if I do know him, you know yourself that pipe isn't right. One dubious post on one forum doesn't make it true..

Browse this one and garner the general consensus about Brickwerks.

I do however know my way round a 1Y (and turbo'd 1Y, AAZ, KY, AEF etc.. etc...)
