1.8t conversion would obviously be the way forward but that would set me back a fair bit of money that i dont have  :angry:

How often does the supercharger need servicing ? just checked its £500 for stage 4 charger from GWerks

Thats my next car I think, going to try and buy a 1.8t straight out though  :cool:  Ive heard a stage 4 g60 is the same power as a vr, but it canes fuel more than a vr.  I'd either have a vr6 or a 1.8t, would love to 4wd it too, would be the perfect car!

out of the 16v's it woul;d probaly go for the 1.8 as that has normal k jet and should go ok and respond to a few mods and possobly 2.0 bottom end if you wanted to go that way.

 the 2.0 has a fueling system that is the bastard child of kjet and digifant it's just horrible to look at and dosent seem to work particuarly well and as id proably drive it about a bit pre conversion that'd be anoying.

tho as DH said  his corrado certanly went better with the ABF than it did with the 9A on nasty jet

as for handeling  they have awsomness

all the VW's have gone bar 1.

Correct.

No.

This was doing some pretty quick laps when we were out in 2008:



You could see the LSD dragging it around the bends, which is the alternative to 4WD.
