Was stupid mk1 question. -Now Engine Building



2.0L 16v!  Why mess with all this stuff when you can probably find one for
about $500 or so and slap it in your car?  Rod length this, compression
that, etc. etc.  Just get a 2.0L 16v, add a Scirocco 16v intake, splice in a
knock box and use your existing CIS!  Nice bottom end and screaming top end!
