Title: dumb question
Post by: DrewiD on 19 August 2009, 17:20
im new to cars so please forgive me if this a mad question. Is it posable to swop the 16vales of a mk2/3 and put them on my 8v mk4 2.slow? {just thought if pos will that make it a bit faster or is it a no go?}

May be possible with the help of a sledge hammer and some pneumatic tools.  :grin:

As you may have gathered mate,a lot lot more hassle than it's worth,even if it's possible.

Sort yourself a panel filter and DSG intake or induction kit depending on your bag, plenty of elbow grease and cleaning tackle, and enjoy what you got. I think most mods are mega-expensive for no real gain on your engine chief... :wink:

really not worth even attempting... you're probably bored of hearing this but sell it and buy a 1.8T (take no notice of the derv addicts :grin: )

Just sell it on and with the money you get purchase a 1.8T as there isn't much if any difference in price between them.

Yeah fair enough. I had a 2.0 8v MK4 which I purchased purely for insurance reasons as I was still a nipper.
