Engine/tranny Question

[optimus234 at hotmail.com (Kevin S)]

I would say drop in a 1.8T, upgrade the turbo,intercooler, and chip it or 
somthing. You should have more then 250hp then. Not sure on it though. Maybe 
josh will comment on this. I have no idea how to get 250hp out of a 16v 
engine. You could turbo it i guess, and do some major upgrades. Probebly a 
little cheaper also. Lets see what others say.
