jeff, a few things that need to be noted. 1) vw of sa looked at the kit
that Remtronic put together and said that it looks good, but not sure
about the extent of thier approval. 2) vw of sa doesn't install these
kits, they use their own stuff (do them have a need to install these
kits?)! (From what i've heard and read regarding these 2 points)

If you get the chance to look at a tiico installation or a kit fresh out
of the box, you'll see that this is a kit complete with home-made
looking parts (engine mount ends and alternator and ac bracket).  But
most parts of the kit have the fancy 4-interlocking circles (audi/vw tm)
and are genuine pieces.

I somewhat agree that the kit won't pass epa b/c it's the wrong engine,
etc, but at the same time, my 86 was designed for this engine. How?
Behind the powersteering pump resivor are the bolts for the i4 engine
mounts. All of the engine mount holes existed- and the rear mounts had
nylon-lock nuts inside the frame rail ready to go! thanks vw!
