You will need to fabricate the wiring, extend the accelerator cable, throw out the diesel parts and shove in the gas parts. The intake hoses will depend on your choice of intake manifolds. VW Fox manifolds IIRC faces the same way as a Tiico. You'll want wiring diagrams from both vehicles. Photocopy each and splice them together on paper first before cutting away at the engine compartment. Etc., etc., etc.... I have one of these conversions sitting on my driveway if you want to look at one are in the SF area. BenT
