Paint the intake!!!
I would spray the intake cream :) I think it will look very clean.
Keep it silver. Its nice that you can read some of the transformation process in the final product.

Cream mate.. excellent work and it's inspiring me to get the ball rolling on my 20vt mk1
Ahoy guys - excellent build. I suggest spraying engine cover either - black & gold or black & red
Definitely paint it. The engine bay looks so clean and uncluttered
Great work man! Love your attention to detail. Spray the intake cream for sure 👌🏼
Besides enjoying this build up❤ I love the bolt method using a cardboard 😮❤😊
Such a clean project man, love it. Definitely paint intake 👍👍
Verry nice Caddy and Paint the intake creme💪🏻
Intake colour totally depends on what look you are going for. If you want it to look like it came out the factory that way, then keep it stock colours. If you want it to look like a custom fit engine, then I'd say paint the black parts too. Not sure if I'd go with the white all over tho, rather create your own design. Nice work, can't wait to see it progress 👍
Everything that you're doing is so clean I like that
Definitely cream bro wicked build👌👌👌
Engine looked mint when you finished it wow
Definitely match intake to engin bay
Looking forward to hear that engine
Awesome build bud !!!
Keep going 😮
spray cover cream 100%
Good work zak can't wait for the first start
Cool build, keep up the good work! Subscribed and looking forward to seeing the future progress!
Paint it cream. Great video mate. Are those front discs up to the job? Not vented/grooved?

Great video.
Very exciting ! You look like youre having a good time! It’s a cool project! My opinion is worthless… but i think leave the manifold stock . Clean but stock ! Best!
Love the attention to detail bro 😎 and definitely love the build keep it up.
Nice project
love this channel!

Silver or candy antrazit 🤩
Nice projet, here in Uruguay that car its called Volkswagen Saveiro
intake cream , and don't forget about the breaks , bigger disc configuration maybe ? :)
Cream mate!!!
nice job
My brother did this to his vw caddy 15 years ago with a tt motor. Needless to say he replaced the gearbox pretty quick. Not as quick as the gears that left the box though.
Keep it silver I reckon. Lovely project, nice work.
Leave manifold as is, looks great silver. who has a white intake manifold? all that matching paint on everything is silly kids stuff. Love this build ty for the vid.
Leaving spark plug holes, empty using all that masking tape elsewhere 😂
What radiator and fans did you choose? That setup would be ideal for my beetle. Thank you
Love this project! Can you tell us where you purchased the hexagon LED lighting system? Thanks!
this build is da bomb, love the garage lights aswell were they from ??
that thing is going to boogy with a VR6! I'll sub for this build EDIT: don't match the intake, a dark blue or grey complements cream nicely
How do you join the mk4 loom to the mk1 loom / fuse box . Is there a website explaining each wire? I want to do the 20vt into a mk2

Zac, did you get the mount kit direct from the USA or is there a UK dealer?

S&P doesn’t ship to the Uk unfortunately, I had to order it to a family members house in the USA and get them to post it to me, the only option in the UK is epytec, they do a full mount kit including driveshafts
I've been looking for some of the hexagon led lights for my garage are they expensive? Just subbed really good build and attention to detail 👍👍

Go and check no where is there a 3.2 intake manifold that is polished.Do something special that nobody have.
