Getting the 24v lump in a mk1 bay will require some chopping, and the floor pan will need replacing due to running gear.

Try VWvortex for any info, because in the years I've been on here, I've never seen anyone attempt it.

Powernut put a turbo 2.8/3.2 in his mk1 caddy with all the 4wd system. Take a look for his threads.

Good thing about Mk1's is that chrome can actually look good.  :tongue:

I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...
