Hi only joined the site to ask few questions in regards to the 24v swap Well evan though it's a golf not too far off lol These pics are a couple month old before we moved Up until last oct 2013 it had covered 59k, 8k in the previous 4Years It's just past 80k as it's my DD I Have built b18vtecs, small fiat engines done turbo conversions on them too etc so know a little general bits and bobs Zak

Thank you for the replies Yes the newer cars do seem to be just as responsive as the cable throttle but it's the actual feel of the pedal too if you know whaT I mean? Maybe just takes some getting used to? Being colour blind does put me off some but my 6yr old daughter helps me with the colours now lol All in all with the total cost of the ecu work and the wiring loom a stand alone would only be a few hundred quid more? So is it much more work with the conversion to have the mk4 abs unit? Will I need to get new abs sensors etc?

I'm not wanting to argue with anyone but just a better understanding I would not think of this route with say the later engines with the vvt on both cams I know how much can be gained with tuning the vvt So with the early 24v engins in mind as long as the fuel and the ignition timing is good I'm presuming it will work? If not what els is there?

As already have the obd2 The early 24v's vvt is mainly for emissions? I got a vafc2 already so the flaps would be working Obviously it would get mapped Not quite so tight more so wanting to keep it simple I can use the standard obd2 throttle body which I am quite happy about I had an octavia vrs and detested the electric throttle dbw

Wow taken me a week to read through this and ended up signing up As there is good folk are on here with plenty of patience and very informative But I can't find if anyone has used the obd2 ecu from the golf mk3 vr6 with a 24v 2.8 swap? Yes the vvt and inlet flaps will be lost but has anyone here done it? Thank you Zak
