   Hi guys I have just blown my head gasket on my vtr:/ the clutch was going any way so I've decided tomdoma conversion and put a vts/106 gti lump in!
   Just wondering of there is any good info/tips when doing this ??
   I have a 3 plug ecu at the moment but can I use a 1 plug of I get engine and loom together? Also do I need to change drive shafts? Thanks

   Most useless piece of advice.

   Yet again if you search it's there I remember a topic on this. You will need to find a changeover 'crossover' loom, failing that fit the new engine with the single plug ecu/loom and cut off the multiplug connecter and join the 1.1 block on, also change sensors.
