    Hidro what year is your Golf? It makes a lot of difference. there was a wiring change around late '89.

    Then it needs a lot more wiring work. In late 1989 they changed to CE2 wiring, which means that a lot of the engines/ECU's will just plug in.

    take everything off the ABF and just use the engine and block with the KR inlet manifold and injection
