The engine bay starting point

Here's how the engine and engine bay looked on delivery. Well, actually not quite, as the rocker cover had been painted black since this photo was taken.

It's been upgraded to a MK2 16v running Weber Alpha throttle bodies and Webcon ECU together with a Supersprint stainless steel manifold and exhaust system, a catch tank has also been added. The engine was rebuilt recently and all ancillaries were replaced.

Wiring has already been hidden and the battery relocated, saving some work. All in all neat and clean but not show quality. This will be the main focus of phase 1 of our project.

Hi there,

Very nice job, I´m doing a 16V engine with alpha TB and ECU, do you have any more pictures of your engine bay, (breather hoses, catch tank, wiring) and do you have any installation documents for the Alpha kit. Webcon do not have any info on their website for the VW kit )-:

You can contact me at vwgti77@hotmail.com

Hi

The Alpha kit is the Gold Performance Kit K20002, I would have thought if you e-mailed them they'd either be able to send you a copy (it's only 30 pages) or give you a link to the PDF.

Got a couple more pictures but don't think they'd help as they're just general shots.
