1.8T in a Mk1 Scirocco, info?...(Audi a girls car...What!?!?)

[mkii at charter.net (Josh)]

simply put, don't bother doing it. you will be happier and have allot less
grey hair if you build a good 16v.

granted a 1.8t can be a blast, and it is a do-able swap, but it seems to
have a track record of problems and assorted issues.

great fun with 200+ hp in a rocco, but I cant honestly think of more than
one swap that hasn't devolved issues with either wiring/tranny or something
else which has caused more expense and downtime.

I know the next rocco I play with will not finish up with a 1.8t in it :D
