Engine conversion

[smitty12]

For future plans what would be the best engine to convert my 2.slow?

Was thinking AUM or AGU but the BAM engine looks the best to me  a remap on that would surely add a few more horses

Go further and drop the ED30 engine in from the MK5

bam engines are very expensive, it'd make more sense to find a cheap low mile aum and bolt a k04/other big turbo to it.

Would a new k04/bigger turbo on top of a AUM engine not out weigh the cost of the BAM engine?

Depends which way you want to do it and what bargains you can find. Ideally you want a complete donor car.. find a written off leon cupra R and you're onto a winner

will have to start searching then! lol after a re-map what do they usually put out?

BAM go up to about 260 IIRC.

i reckon you push 270+ with the right mods.

i would go for a 1.8t with a k03s and save the money for a quaife atb diff

"quaife atb diff"

Limited slip diff, will help with getting the power down.
