Default rs turbo conversion

hey guys

just bought a s2 with rough body so while its off the road for as long as it takes i have bought a 1.3 mk4 estate

i want to do the turbo conversion to the estate but am stuck at the wiring ? what needs removed from the rs to make the other run ? i can do the wiring not a prob but just some pointers would be great

both dash boards and interior are removed

surly its not as simple as removing the loom from the rs and firing it in the estate is it ???????



thanks



tommy

You need the full loom mate the only bits i chopped on my estate and re-soldered was the wires for the roof clock as i thought it would be a right pain to feed them back through.
I did away with the electric windows,electric mirrors and central locking as i didnt need these but these bits are easy and just unplug from the main loom.

mark.

you do only need the engine loom, fuel pump relay and fuel pump wires, easy but time consuming, guides can be found on this site
