Mr Marais, before you start thinking that people are unhelpful here - you about to get stupid answers - use the search function on the site to get answers. Vader might just walk into the room, and who knows what his mixture be like when he walks in. He is a nice nasty guy I must add.
Price for disc conversion is on the site. 2-3 main suppliers depending on which part of the world you in. So, USE the search button and get all your questions answered. As you read, cheaper and better (read less work) to modify your stock engine rather than Golf conversion. There are about 3 main engine builders on this site (do a search - and this is not google!!) who can build you a reliable ac motor at price of conversion as already quoted.

Re: 2.0 8v golf engine in 1600 beetle
No haven't done a 1/4 mile yet. It is quick but not that quick. Don't expect miracles. But it eats citi golfs and polos for breakfast. And the odd Datsun or toyota. Sounds like the power you are after are much more than what you can expect from a golf motor. Rather go Rotary turbo then. Cost around R50 k for a conversion.

No I don't want that much power. I was just excited to know. I think I will maybe do the golf conversion. Do you use 25mm pipe both ways to rediator.

Yes. 25mm both ways. Had a 32mm on the feed but that did not make a difference
