Hi all, New to this site and pretty much all things GTI, I started stripping down an Ibiza GTI 6K 8v that I bought purely as a track hack, and was planning on keeping it pretty much standard.....however, a guy I know has pretty much totalled his 1999 TT, I’m pretty sure it’s the APX engine and not a BAM unit, other than the obvious engine, box, clutch etc what other donor parts would I need off the TT.....ECU? Loom? Driveshafts? Mounts? Etc etc Thanks in advance. Matt.
If its already 'running' just buy the wreck, you'll need loom, throttle pedal plus mounting (however he has done it) stubby master cylinder, engine mounts, if he is running a 5 speed box then you'll have all the mounts you need already, make sure if your buying just the engine you got the turbo oil return pipes as itll need re-routing around the rear engine mount. If he is running the 6 speed all the engine mounts and to understand how its mounted to the shell, plus drive shafts etc
Thanks David, It is running fine, I never thought of the 6 speed box having different mounts to the 5 speed, something else to think about, getting complicated now, I may revert back to keeping it standard. Thanks
Turns out it’s 6 speed, now been offered an AUQ engine plus turbo, ECU and loom etc etc......jeez it’s getting confusing
