Seriously? It's a massively popular engine conversion!

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.

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