The conversion hassle here is with the fuel lines and mounting of the FPR. On
the Passat/Golf 2.0-16V- the FPR is plumbed in with threaded, vs banjo
connections-- it is also installed horizontally-- in a bracket that won't fit
a driver's side conversion. You can use a CIS-E bracket, but be prepared to
fiddle with the fuel lines a bit.
The main idea is safety when you convert those lines. The pressure side of
the FPR sees fuel at almost 100psi. Being the less adventurous type, I had a
local hydraulic shop source the correct line and do a pressure crimp-- this
may not be necessary, but it sure does wonders for my peace of mind.
Brett's page is a great resource (helped me greatly--thanks again,BVS)--
can't wait to see the update!
