I have made a few updates since I sent my stuff to Titus (May 2012 - that was a while ago wasn't it?) If you pm me your email address, Ferraldog, I will forward the latest versions. Very similar, just picking up on a few points people have mentioned.
could I have a copy please garyd ?

Hi guys...I'm in far away Malaysia and will be undertaking a GTi conversion on my Syncro after the DJ died... now searching the web to research what items I need. Could I please have a copy of Gary D's instructions too? Probably the 1st & only GTi conversion here on a Syncro (there's only 6 in the whole country!) so I really hope I get it right. Will be using a 2E as there's more of that around here. My email is khoo10cents@yahoo.com. Thank you!

Hi., happy to send to all parts of the world. Will be on it's way shortly.

My info is based around the AGG conversion into a TD syncro, so if yours is something different then it will provide pointers but perhaps not everything. Have you found the German website http://2e-im.vw-bus.net/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ?

cheers

Hi there, could you help me out with a set of those instructions, I've just bought a 1.6tdi syncro that needs upgrading.
Thanks

Hi,
Just had a DG go past the point of me wanting to spend any more money on it. AGG conversion seems sensible. If its not too lazy, could I get a copy of Garys bible please?
