Be more grief than its worth. Youd be better doing a 1.8t conversion or better still selling yours and just buying one

The price you can pick a 1.8t gti up for now really not worth the effort

Probs be cheaper to ensure aswell

AGU

doesn't have crappy sensors and secondary air intake.
Has a proper gear linkage setup unlike ARZ
Large port head
Forged Rods

only downside is turbo can only put out about 190bhp

forged rods?? if so why do you have to replace them when running 300+lbft
think you mean forged crank :wink:

No 1.8t came with forged rods or pistons... what you have heard is incorrect.
The majority of internal water pump 1.8t have forged crankshaft if that's what you mean...
A lot of misinformed things have been mentioned but the important thing is if an engine conversion is to be done it is best to start with the throttle body - is your car drive by wire or cable? But is out of the scope of this thread.

I agree with the sentiments of other members; it's cheaper and much less headache to just buy a 1.8t gti and stick a few bolt on mods then map it as opposed to paying someone to source and do the engine conversion on your behalf.
