i just done mine today (well changed the bottomn puley and put a 205 gti cam in) all in took about 3 hours
unfortunatly my 16v conversion is going tohave to wait :/ finances don't allow £700 for a manifold and another £500 for a turbo at the moment:/

and the engine definatly seems to rev nicer with the 205 cam :)
