I might be going the digifant 16v route, and if i do i'll probably end up with just a basic 16v engine without any of the accessories. In that case can i just use all my accessories from an 8v (alternator, powersteering, AC, waterpump?) on the 16v? or will it not work and require 16v specific parts.
if someone could help me out here it would be great.

Re: 8v accessories on a 16v (RedGTi)

the 16v and 1.8 digi blocks are the same. everything should bolt right on. I'm running a digi right now w/o all the accesories. It does take a special or modified alternator bracket if you want to run w/o AC. I can send you pix on the alt bracket mods - tools required: bandsaw or hacksaw, drill, grinder or file.
