Have you checked the VW dealer? The cost will prob. be one arm and a leg.

I am doing the same conversion myself.

But try Demello (DMS) for the cranks. They do these all the time.

good luck

So let me get this straight. All that has to be changed is the thrust bearing? so I guess you would use water boxer shims to set the end play?

Hello
You need to modify the type 1 case to fit the three piece WBX bearing
then use WBX/ type 2 shims
