Lovely work! Such a joy working on older simpler engines.

​@RestoDesignsnando Hi, im also from Brazil, a few months ago you helped me with my project, we talked about 16v camshafts. I have a mk3 GTI, originally 2.0 8v crossflow, now converting to 16v. Tank you again, love your Channel, keep up the good work

[@CrAzYDr1veR]

in poortugal they also check engine code and nr

[@RestoDesignsnando]

No engine number on the cars logbook/papers right? So what do they check the number with? Unlike many other places, which have the full engine numbers in the logbook.

[@CrAzYDr1veR]

it's on a database, they check only after they steal your car reg and send you to inspection B.

[@RestoDesignsnando]

@@CrAzYDr1veR ok so It isn't something easy to check. 👍🏼

[@blinkyd4952]

wait , i dont understand why you grinded the displacement off the block , is it to avoid unnecessary paper work and make it look like the engine displacement haven't changed?

[@RestoDesignsnando]

Yes to avoid unnecessary eye's come MOT/inspection time.

Hello mate, any idea where to source a premade downpipe for that setup? I know that with a modern 8v exhaust manifold you can fit a corrado downpipe and its plug and play because the modern 8v have the exists in the Middle like the original mk1 GTI, but those manifolds the exit is a little bit to the left.

[@RestoDesignsnando]

Hi, unfortunately no, in this project the owner has order a mk1 4-2-1 exhaust manifold due to that issue and using the 020 gearbox and linkage.

[@Mario_Marques]

@RestoDesignsnando I am aware of the issues with the gearbox linkage, but about that, you can solve it with a short shift kit, Techtonics tuning sells a downpipe that is plug and play on that exhaust manifold, but its only available in US. If you use the modern 8v manifolds, from new beetle and others, the exit is in the Middle and you can Bolt on the Corrado downpipe, it also has a place to install the O2 sensor and its a quite good manifold(I have tested One once), its tubular made and has good design runners.
