[tech] Audi 1.8T in a MKII Rocco???

[sfwilliams@comcast.net (Scott F. Williams)]

Patrick, list member Rich Deede has a 1.8T-powered Mk2 Scirocco. In fact, I
saw it up close and personal at the local VW show this past weekend. I never
saw Rich, though. As far as I know, the hardest part of converting an A1 to
1.8T is integrating the wiring harness. I say, "to hell with all that OEM
crap". I'd simply drop it in there and manage the engine with an aftermarket
system.
