I've recently bought an 8v Gti that I was intending on putting a 1.8t in.

I took the engine out today to find it had a TSR Cam and Pack 'A' Cyclinder Head.

With the right exhaust, manifold and intake, I should be between 135 and 145bhp.

It's worth considering.

Btw. I am now not doing the conversion :)
