I'm posting my build of Beta kit #9 for those interested in the Smyth Performance G3F mid-engine sports car conversion for the MkIV Jetta and 4-door MkIV Golf. My particular build began with a 2004 Jetta TDI (BEW, 5-spd) purchased specifically for this project.
I hope to help provide some small insight into the conversion process through the following time lapse videos and progress posts...
My Build Specifics:
BEW 1.9 TDI
Chrome journal replacement cam, slotted bearings and cap mods (Frank06)
Passat cast iron exhaust manifold ported to Darkside Developments GTB adapter (RyanP)
Garrett GTB2260VK (RyanP)
SDI Scroll intake (RyanP)
4-Bar MAP (RyanP)
Firad +80% (RyanP)
O2M EFF 6-Speed (RyanP)
Peloquin LSD (RyanP)
SB Stage II Silent Endurance clutch/pp
Audi TT front suspension/brakes in both front and rear
Type 20 long flow air/water intercooler (very low restriction, rated to 350HP)

In the beginning...
What it will soon look like (ok, different wheels, color, etc., but you get the idea...). Re-purposed for some fun!:
