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

I'm also interested in this. But it seems like such a HUGE job, and I regularly use my car and can't afford for it to be off the road for too long.

Silly question, but what sort of performance could I expect. Would I be better off going down the 16V GTI route, or G60 route?

A lot needs changing plus you can do the conversion a few ways, VR6 is 174bhp plus a lot of torque, post the question in the mk2 sectioc and go from there.
