Are you handy with tools?Cheers Alf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The have hundreds of different ECU maps from BA to BFII, XT-FPV and everything inbetween..If you're good with tools then it's not all that hard to get the mechanical side of things in, the wiring should come with the conversion if you get a complete conversion kit..I've still got a complete T5 conversion sitting in the shed, that came out of my car when I had a learner pull out infront of me.. I'm still undecided on whether to make a hotrod with it in a Capri mkI, put in into another BA, or sell it..It's not a job for the faint harted, but it is WELL worth the effort.. Manual is far more appealing than autoGood luckCheers,MaTTe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
