I've seen these engines fitted in a few vans now - particularly in the US. A few examples are:

They look a great conversion and power seems to be good, especially in a Syncro.

I just wondered if anyone had worked on these and how the electrical mods and engine mountings had been handled. There seem to be a few ways to go about it and as I already have an AGG Golf GTI fitted I would like to know how much more work would be needed. I'm about to swap the 1.8T in my Beetle for a 24v V6 so the engine will be available for the van.

Any clear information welcomed

engine parts such as sai, etc can all be coded out, as can the immo if you dont want to use the clocks .

ones ive seen use petrol engine bars and customs mounts with stock mk4 bushings
should bolt straight to the stock derv bellhousing
i actually think the electrics would be the easier part.
