You can use the mk1 manual trans but I'd recommend an fx300 clutch setup and a diff if you want to do as little custom and more drop in.
Pros: drop in

I would not buy a GTI without the Performance Pack (i.e., this \"diff\"). It is good on paper, and every single review I have read makes it sound genius in the real world.
Pros: genius in the real world
