Thanks for comments

I ahve mounted up the gearbox for the last time (hopefully),and also had to make a support bracket for the mechanical clutch.

The Spec 3+ clutch setup is surprisingly light to engage/disengage,almost easier than the OEM GTI clutch

A lot of parts is awaiting for me at the local VAG dealer now,such as coils,hoses,flanges,and some other small parts.

AN fittings and hoses are also ordered,so I need a oil catch tank in aluminium.

So if I get the rest of the parts I need next week,I hope to start up within a 14 days,i hope  

A couple of pics of the bracket

2.0 TFSI coils fitted...

6/18/2010

At first,I was going to use coils from the later 1.8T engines with the short neck.So I had to bore up the holes a bit,and mill down the surface some mm`s to make to coils fit.

But now when I use coils from the TFSI engine,I don`t think the resurfacing is necessary cause they are about 2 inches longer..

Found that I have misplaced the tap on the cam pulley for the home signal.It was placed about 60 degrees ATDC,than 60 deegrees BTDC that it should be.So I must have assembled it in a completely sleepy condition  haha

Hope this will eliminate the ignition problem I`ve had.Wish me luck!
