 They include:

 complete exhaust system

 complete coolant system
 Engine mounts and engine carrier
 bellhousing or adapter plate

 Great job Ken. You've done a lot of hard work to get a complete kit
available. I'm exited to see or hear of someone's 5 cyl. install.  Maybe it
will make it to European Car. My time will come for the kit. Hopefully not
right away. Will this complete kit still work in a syncro? Also, I'm not
understanding the wire harness and ECU. Is this an Audi ECU, CIS-E.
 Thanks, Michael
