| two years later lol. I'm finally doing everything right. Like everyone says, do a complete 120k kit. Coz has one bundled with a UR pulley. Get the HI water pump pulley too, just to be safe. Carefully inspect the oil pan for any dents, that's what killed my last motor. Replace all hoses that look like they might leak, particularly the power steering hoses that would be a royal PITA once the engine's in. Depending on the condition of yours, you'll probably want to get a new engine harness too. Personally I'll be going with the SZ 2.5" exhaust because I will eventually be going TT and I won't mind it being loud. I'm focusing most of my effort on things that will support a TT swap later, suspension, drivetrain, etc. In the downtime inbetween swaps I have scoured this site and learned tons about my car, which has proved invaluable once I started workig on it. As you stated, there is a ton of fluff to sort through to find the valuable info, but it is there. Good luck!
