I have never gone from KR to PB as I think it is daft even doing PB to KR, even tough I have done it. I have a Golf 2 16v (88) and 8v (89) of mine/wife’s respectively.

These are the basics of what is different,

1) Fuel pump and lines (tank and lift pump are the same)
2) Engine wiring harness
3) All the intake system, air filter, pipe work, inlet manifold etc
4) ECU
5) Dash harness
6) Instruments
7) Radiator and hoses
8) Gearbox
9) Exhaust system

Remember that the fuse box and harnesses all changed in 1990 so if one car is from one side of the change and the other from the other side, that will make life difficult.
