It's Gas, if doing a conversion like this I would
advise others to get the Audi exhaust, and intakes
since I hear they fit better, did a bit of grinder
work, no sign of flex of bend, but it's a good sized
chunk out of the engine bay wall.  debating if I want
to hassle power steering, not as macho ya know.

Isn't Macho Spanish for stupid???

Hey we don't no no racial stuff here. I have American Engine friends who
would be offended by being called short.

So does Dieselfant mean it's still a diesel or is it now an inline-4 gas
injun? If it's diesel the Golf PS pump bracket will interfere with the
injection pump. Don't know what about gas. I bought a PS bracket from a
listmember who decided not to use it in his Tiico covnersion. Something ike
that woud work in the gas applicaton. I'm still working on getting a bracket
for my diesel application (td).
