Seriously? It's a massively popular engine conversion!

Like i say, i may be wrong, but i don't think there are many people on here that have carried out the conversion themselves

the 1.8T is a fairly easy swap,  it's bolt up apart from pipework and wires and most of that can be bought off the shelf now anyway.

done a couple for others but, i find the engine feels lame till it's tuned to a point the insurance man dosent find amuseing.

all the VW's have gone bar 1.

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