Re: John Ryland <John.Ryland@mail.sscoop.com>: A3 2.0 into 78 Scirocco

[Roland <toker@oden.se>]

The big problem you already noticed, the block is 18mm I think taller so you
will run into clearance problem for your T-B. And an adapter for the
exhaustsytem should do it. Be ready to remove some reinforcments in your hood

Roland, Scirocco 1,6l TIC -82
