You need a custom side mount and front mount.
Cable change mechanism
Hydraulic clutch, or cable setup from a SEAT.
Big Clutch and flywheel.
I think the 02A box is horrible with a 16v and very heavy.
Its great when being pushed by a 20VT tho :)
With your 16v, Id run an 020 GTI 8v Box and hold on.

will the 020 be strong enough ... i have been told and read up about the 020 not being strong enough to handle a 16v

020 was used with the KR 16v for years mate.

I told you that dom!
Just leave the 020, and don't slam it like i did with my 8v...hehehe!

02A boxes are ****ters. 8v box with the final drive will alllow those max speeds you used to talk about ;)
