Rocco 16v engine swap - Beetle 1.8T

[jdbubb at ix.netcom.com (Dan Bubb)]

I wasn't clear.
The turbo outlet size and position is different between the transverse and longitudinal 1.8T factory
installations.
TT's downpipe happens to be made to match to the longitudinal 1.8 turbo outlet. (probably because
it's been around longer and it's easier to swap since it has a normal throttle cable instead of
drive by wire).
Of course, it would be mounted transversely in a Scirocco. It's just that the turbo outlet is in a
different position.
