This just makes my ass tired!
It is a wonder that the Scirocco even survived for 11 years with only
the pathetic 8V! Thank God that VW finally put a decent engine in the
Scirocco so the 16V guys would have something to look down their noses
at!

Considering there isn't a single swinging dick on the Kotex that isn't
doing a crossflow turbo I think you will be in "good" company. There are
more than a couple companies out there making "kits" for the xflo.

My question is why do you want hobble yourself with an 8V?

A cross-flow is consider a nice head for a turbo because the intake is
on 
the front of the motor (like a 16V) which a) keeps the intake air
cooler, 
and b) keeps the intake manifold the hell out of the way of the exhaust 
manifold/turbo and associated plumbing.

The x-flow is a great head for those who are doing "cheap-ass" turbo
swaps 
using turbo-diesel manifolds, because the TD manifold can be used
without 
modification when the intake is on the front of the engine.

I've consider a cheap-ass turbo swap (as I have no shortage of the tubro

bits) but I lack the x-flow head.  Oh well, some day.

elaborate. Stock head vs stock head, is the x-flow better for boost?
