Whats the point, stick with a VR6.

V5 is not that good an engine choice.

oh i red that wrong thought it said 20vt time for bed me thinks lol

I think it would be unique.

That would probably be the strongest thing about it though.

Decent engine, but not in a MK2. Restricted to what you can do to them.

16v 9a conversion............................................. much more fun!

They can be turbo'd. 

If its gonna be done, make sure its the 20v 170hp version. I think a remap can get you ~190hp.

I think the last one I saw remapped gained 3/4 bhp.
