i cannot recall of the top of my head but if you have a look for some of the build threads on polo123 or club polo there is a wealth of info on there about how to do it (normally by older polo's fitting the 16v engine).

Yeah I have an AFH on R1 carbs in my mk2 Coupe, it's a great conversion, although I'm after more power in mine and the mk4 is much heavier so bear that in mind - there isn't much torque and as a result I've just bought a 1.6!
ClubPolo.co.uk is the place to go for info, there is absolutely tons of it and you'll probably even find a few set ups for sale.
I took the easy way out and bought my engine from someone (someone local that I knew well) who had already done the conversion in a mk2 so all I had to do was swap them over - so I'm not really the guy to ask about jetting or fannymould bore size etc!
As for doing it to a 1.0 well I'd say it's a waste of time. It is not easy and requires lots of fiddling to get right it can get expensive too. If you want more power, just drop a 1.3 GT lump in and be done with it - they're dead cheap and will give more power.
Good luck with it and post some pics when you're done.
