Is it worth the effort by sacrifice the vr6 and go for 1.8T?

An auto vr6? yes i think so

Yes because it's auto and also big power is cheap out of a 1.8T, I looked at a manual and turbo conversion but huge $$ for the same outcome it's pushing 220bhp now for cheap money how much to get that out of a vr6!!!

That is beautiful! Loving the RS's, but i'm thinking you need to get some bigger dishes on them though!! Looking amazingly polished
Looking forward to seeing some of the pics of it up and running
