1.6 mk4 to 1.8 t conversion

[Purely VAG]

If you are intending to fit a 1.8t and dvla register it/insured 1.8t = Sky high insurance as its a heavily modified 1.6. Its worse than just buying a 1.8t.

Basically the only way its worth the conversion is if your not registering it and you/mate is doing the work for you.

Easy to do though after first one and if you need any help/advise i did mine and have removed refitted my engine 4 times plus friends also VW tech so helped me. PM or 07923222024

Jrd,

I hate people who choose to make a point on that, its like switching to economy light bulbs, 1 person doesnt change the world. Do you think it will change anything when thousands of other people are doing opposite and the consequence is all on the owner/driver and doesnt effect you. I stated it as an option that the OP might have been doing, i arent going to jump down his throat if he is because its done all the time. So yeahhh NICEEEEEEEE !

PS. Economy lights bulbs are also sh!t as they only work when youve left the room.
