Adapter plate ,flywheel and clutch ext. I have done the IRS conversion but need help on this

Yes you have to do that if using an Audi box. Unfortunately your cv joints will then be positioned much higher, causing them to run at higher angles.

Hypoid crownwheel/pinion setups are offset, unlike a beetle type transmission. So you cannot simply flip the crownwheel around, even if there was space inside to do that.

Thanks Dawie
great advise
I am considering to turn my box around in pypkar
so
Driver Engine and then Gearbox at back
if I can pull this off it will give me great back clearance for the 4x4 events
just to do some measurements and see how it will influence my car length
