Swap from ABF to 20v 1.8t

[ibiza_95]

When I read this thread I was going to suggest the Qpeng option, but Dave beat me to it.

Regarding the Qpeng, could you send off a 1.4 loom and a 20vT loom and would they be able to put them together? Or would an abf loom have to be used??

1.4 / 2l8v 2l16v...
its all irrelevant

you need a 1.8T loom
dont forget its the 1.8T youre putting in and running not any other engine

chris went: mk2>mk3 vr6>toledo (1.8 20v non-t)>god knows lol

I remember the day when he hit his sump on a new speed bump lol

Also just thought I would contribute to this thread as Im not being relevant
Bubbleboy I would like to see a build thread coming soon!

I know I would need the 1.8T loom, but I was wanting to try and keep the mk2 dash etc and I would just get a set of gti clocks.

still irrelevant if you think about it...
the ecu controls the engine and the running of the engine.
Youve 1 wire for the tacho
and 1 for the coolant temp that youve to wire yourself to the car to make them work...
fuel sender is the same, and speedometer is the same

you could potentially take every single wire out of the engine bay and just use the QPENG loom and your car would run
