1.8T.

It's lighter, more easily tunable, and newer so you are more likely to find ones in better condition.

Plus even when tuned it'll probably still be better on fuel than the six pot with the same poke  :smiley:

hmm i dont know. I was taken out the other day in a mk2 vr6, the 2.9 storm lump from a corrado. Tuned to 220hp. That thing was stupidly fast, 0-60 in 4 seconds and he's hit 155mph, and it still had more to give. And the sound of it was jsut amazing.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
