OK STOP,
Drive the car to me, I will put a GTI-R into a GA powered car without a
single problem. The shop that you have talked to has NO idea what a GTi-R
engine is, they probably think its some fancy VW engine or something. If you
get a GTi-R front clip like I did, you can swap the pedals over, wire
harness, ECU, everything but the axles and tranny. GTi-R will come with
AD22VF brakes too. I think you should stay away from that shop. I know of
one shop in IL that people go to for engine swaps- SR20s, they charge 3K bux
for a DET install. Now I do them for less than a G note. Thanx, hope U don't
get screwed on your swap.
