Hello dude, i know what it's like when you get an idea in your head and you don't know where to begin ( i was the same..still am )... but the same questions come up time and time again and the knowledge that is inside this forum gets bored repeating themselves over and over without 'people' doing a little detective work for themselves ( 'search ' is your friend here)....

If you'd have searched first you'd have discovered you dont need an adaptor to run the valver on the bay gearbox, just a bell housing from a t25 along with the oil sump ( as the water cooled t25's use the same block casting..)

Anyway good luck with your project and look through as many threads on here as you can , whether there relevant to what your doing or not, you will learn a hell of alot, there is some some very talented visionaries on here

I'm sure one of the guys on "Splitterz" did this. Well I know one did a Goof lump.
Ask on there as I can't remember his name, but Colin rings a bell.

my mate has been runnign Gti engines in his bay for years. Originally a Mk1 8v now a mk 3 8v (2ltr i think) anyway hes coming up in a few weeks so if you can be more specific about what you want to know ill see what i can find out from him.

As has been said though - searhc the boards there is informaiton already on here and pics of my mates van in Kool rides that will help you.

I had a 2ltr 8 valve it was great!! The 16valve would be mind blowing

You'll need to reposition the dizzy, I think you can move it from the cam to the crankcase, otherwise you'll need a huge hole in your fuel tank!
