he was being a vw snob :wink:

also it would be a golf vxr...

point being why not buck the trend of all the 1.8t's 'something different'( a term which people use to mask sh!t mods :wink:)

This.

I think it's quite a cool project personally. something a little different.

can't imagine much difference in power though

Post by: Bellend on 16 November 2011, 18:33: Probably is to do something different.

I'd have stuck with a 1.8T personally, I know they're getting common but I'd do it for me not anyone else and I quite like the 1.8T engine. :cool:

Not remotely.

This exists in the really real world.

Neither are great ideas.
