Sell it buy something quicker, I guess you could fit a 1.8t but what is the point.

If you want power then sell sell sell straight away and get avoid another 2.slow!! If you want a bora rather
than a golf i'd advise a TDI and then get it remapped, my mates bora is pretty damn quick!!

what about an engine swap?? i'd rather challenge myself and spend pointless money in the process.

Someone told me to buy a civic type R but i preferred the conversion from a 92 civic with a type R engine....

I just likke the stupid options!!!

Yes it can be done but is just not worth it.

if your going to convert it make it worth it and use an engine that wasent fitted as standard or if you must use a 20vt  use the 225
all the VW's have gone bar 1.

Sell it before you spend any money on it.
