I'm pretty bad at build threads and keeping updates but since I've already completed most of this and have been driving the car this summer I think I can handle posting my project.
I've owned the MK1 for the last 7 years and has gone from a 1.6td to a stock ALH TDI and now to a ALH TDI with a GT2256v and Syncro AWD.
This is one of the earliest pics I have of it, was pretty rough when I got it
After fixing pretty much everything to do with the body and driving it as a 1.6TD I felt the car needed a bit more go so I started collecting TDI parts.
At first I was going to swap in all MK4 wiring and computer but after looking up other build threads and performance upgrades for the AHU TDI I figured out I could simply swap connectors on the AHU harness and get a chip to run the VNT turbo. Malone made the tune I used which was basically to run a stock AHU with a VNT turbo but without a maf or egr. It still amazes me how similar AHU and ALH are.
