| At the mo I'm looking for some serious contenders to PSI for engine transplants...
I've contacted Awesome in Manchester as well as G-werks...
it will be a TDi 110bhp or 130bhp with a 6 speed box.. bhp depends on prices just yet..
anyone know of anywhere that could carry out the transplant other than those mentioned?
Details please.. |

| dont go with awesome, they charge well over the odds for anything, i should know, i used to work there. but i'd definately go with the 130pd, i know PSI have experience doing this conversion and have done it well so personally, if i was paying anyone to do it it'd definately be PSI |

| Midland VW - used them myself and never hear bad things.
Also might be worth contacting Storm developments and some of other firms in back of PVW. |

where abouts is this SB Autos Huxley?
Midland VW won't undertake the diesel transplant as they have too much on..
Need to contact Storm |

| the 150pd have problems if you dont use the right oil they chew the cams up lol 130 is a good strong engine mate and will be sound in the caddy |
