So a couple of other mods along the way,
To save replacing the inter cooler for one with a map sensor I machined a nylon insert to mount the sensor in

Also machined a nylon adapter flange to mount a mk6 maf sensor in the mk7 air pipe to allow me to use the mk7 air box, which I know will mean removing air box to access oil filler but some wing nuts and quick release clips will make this no issue.

these adaptations are untested and may not work out the way I hope but fingers crossed
I also painted inside of the headlights and the front bumper whilst I was sourcing and awaiting parts to arrive

So that’s pretty much where I am at, the back of the van is a state, tools, old looms, bits off the old engine, printouts everywhere.
So I have had engine running but only briefly due to not having the cooling system fully plumbed in. Now have all the hoses required so over the next few days that’s what I am hoping to get done, and run the engine for a good period
