How come the messages need to be relayed via you, can't he join the forum and post in the normal way? Is "the friend" really you, but you're too embarrased to admit it?
i have told him to join. i have a 1.9d so alot more work to put gti in as petrol engine. i would have 2.0hdi.

Best bet would be to get a gti complete interior and exterior loom with the engine/ecu (if the engine loom doesnt match up just replace the whole loom)
The anti roll bar and hubs would need to be changed too
