1.8T swap

[bhonnold@pac-cap.com (BoxOParts)]

A better question is why would you want too?

The basic 1.8T motor is crap.  150 HP with a pitiful peashooter turbo.
It was designed to get under the 2.0 insurance requirements of European
insurance agencies and still have enough HP to shove around a Passat.  

Be prepared to shell out approx $3,000 for the motor and the install for
your 150HP.

If you are willing to do this, talk to Josh Able and Riley McDowell?
about what the upgrades cost to get above 200HP with the motor.

FWIW I'm at about $1500 for motor and fuel system, ready to install a
300ish HP 16v turbo.

Subject: 1.8T swap

I was talking with some friends, and im hearing that its pretty easy to
put 
a 1.8T in a scirocco. I am willing to spend the money on the engine and
so 
on just not on the labour to put it in. How hard is it to swap a 1.8T
into a 
scirocco? Also does a 8v tranny fit onto the engine? What about the fuel

pump? What clutch flywheel would I need? How about motor mounts?
radiator? 
Intercooler? and so on.

It would be sweet if I could get a lot of info on this swap.

Thanks in advance.
