    Erm....help 1.8 Silvertop

    I picked up a mk5 1.8 Silvertop that used to be a 1.8 Diesel, I'm honestly not too sure how far even through the conversion its gone so I was hoping if I put up a few pictures you guys would be able to help?

    No idea, I think he wanted to make a cossie rep on the outside with a 1.8 silvertop turbo lump. I'm just wondering if anyone knew why those plugs would be spare or if they need something going to them

    I'm trying to find some injectors for this and coming up short, I dont suppose you would know if the injectors from a mk1 Focus 1.8 blacktop would fit this? or if I'd need that inlet ect aswell?

    Are there any side feed ones that would fit the engine in my pictures above or is it a case of stick with the original ones?
