Picked up my new MKIV V5 - Seriously Annoyed

[Rhyso]

Rip the sh!te v5 lump out drop a 1.8t in 

Out of the frying pan into the fire 

has to be a bit better than the v5 just doing the timing chain on that could buy a 1.8t that has a car with it

And you'll spend a fair chunk of money on the 1.8T chasing boost leaks, replacing the vacuum system, weak actuators, coilpacks etc etc

You'd think   

But a lot of people buy an engine from a scrappy or Ebay and it arrives on a pallet so you have no idea of how its running    It gets put into the car and then you discover the multitude of problems which need fixing before you even think about chucking more power at it
