Loaf thank you for the info. I've also contacted Martin about the conversion parts. I'm getting the back issue from UltraVW (March 2005) to do some research on the installation (Martin noted that this issue shows the install step by step). Also in regards to the rear mount (he only has them for the newer magnesium cased 901/914 tranny) but that is not a big deal. Also he carries 2 types of the front nose cones for early/late trannys. So you will have to figure out whether your 901 is made from Magnesium or Aluminum before you purchase the parts. I will be also purchasing some of his parts to do this conversion (hopefully by December) so that I can complete my T4/901 install. So depending on who gets their parts first I might need to bug you (your free to ask questions if I get my parts first) about the install.

Thanks for pointing that out about the case.. I will be ordering the back issue asap. had forgotten about ..

I think we maybe onto something here. Do you read German?
Sometime things get lost in the translation..
Take care.

the race is indeed on. I've ordered the back issue last night and I'm having it airmailed to me (hoping to see it soon). I think there is a post on the shoptalkforums about this conversion (I'm going to hunt it down tonight). I'm hoping to purchase the setup by thanksgiving (going to divert funds from my fuel injection buy....I'll live with carbs for now). I'm really believing that we are indeed on to something here. And the fact that its already installed on more than a handfull of cars makes me feel that the old way of installing the 901 is about to go the way of the doudou (bad spelling day). I've got a few questions for Martin but I'm saving them up till after I have all the info so that I only bug him once (besides I might find my answers in the article). You did make a good point about the translation of the website. I don't speak German....but I think I can find someone who does.

Hi,

found out this morning that the currency of Euro to Dollar has decreased from nearly 1.30 to 1.17 in the last weeks. That means, that prices are about 10 % lower than a few weeks ago. So, if someone ist interested it might be that it is a good time to order. Or stay informed about currencies!

Will have a new charge of conversions again by the end of November. Only one kit left at the moment.

Cheers Martin
