1.8T in a Mk1 Scirocco now vs 16v-t
For the cost, you might also consider turboing a 16v.
Lots of power availble and its an eaiser lest costly
swap.
The worst part about it is finding good fuel
management. Bolting the motor in is a cinch making
the pipes is pretty straight foward if you can weld.
I am sure Bradley will chime in an comment. I know I
made 240 whp (12psi) off a 170K mile 1.8L... Bradley
had good luck also. I am sure there are others with
good reuslts too. Alas I sold my turbo rocco to
support other toys. I kind of miss it now.
