I also know a guy who did this... he put it in an A2 Jetta, and used a
factory rebuilt 1.8 block bored and stroked to 2L.  He also gets wheelspin
in first and second, and wheelhop in third, but he's got a 2Y or AGB with a
Quaife.  Zoiks... :P

On this motor (I wish I had a pic of it, but I don't) the fuel rail was
custom, as was a 90 degree elbow piece that joined the G60's TB to the 16v
intake manifold.  The motor looks a lot like VW's 16v G60, actually.  The
alternator was mounted in front of hte block, underneath the G-charger.  He
used the G60's Digifant, with a custom chip, and a Scirocco intake so
everything (except the air filter) was on the driver's side.

Yeah, I gotta agree... a 16v G60 is a FUN motor :)
