Vr6. Give it up mate. Sell your car and buy another car and stop asking stupid questions.  :smiley:

For the amount of effort it takes, plus the extra insurance cost, it would be cheaper all round if you sell the 1.4 and just buy a GTI 16v, or an 8v GTI if you're young and not used to anything THAT fast.

To be fair, the 8v GTI is a Bugatti Veyron compared to the 1.4.

The 1.8 20v turbo from a mk4/s3/lcr/tt is a very popular choice.
