8v questions, what can I get from the yard?

[sad_rocc at yahoo.com (Dan Smith)]

Got the 4k tranny, though with the torque of a 2L, I think I'm going to stay long ratio. The car currently has AC, but it doesn't work and I don't feel like making it work, so it'll most likely come out. A2 cam sprocket should be on the RD engine (its an A2 engine), unless only certain A2s have it. Heat exchanger? What's that?

I'd look for a no ac set-up,  4k tranny, I've heard that Fox intake manifolds are larger and make more low end power, A2 cam sprocket (lighter), non-heat exchanger set-up, ....

But what can I steal from other cars to give mine a bit more go (besides a 16v engine, ha, I beat you to it). I have a TB from an a2 golf gti (same as Audi I think) and it has the stupid adapter plate now but it will have the ports matched when the time comes. I'm pretty much collecting the parts now for a springtime install. Stock parts from other cars are typically pretty cheap and easy to find, so that's the direction I'm headed in at the moment.
