Don't see the point in putting an s3 engine in to a 4mo though add it all up you could get a second hand charger cheap enough if u can do the work ure self wouldn't be as bad baz surely

that dosnt exist  :grin:
and it would cost a mortage to run the dam thing
lol
dont think for a minute a bam engine is much cheaper to run than your 2.8  :wink:

Haha u learnt that 1 quickly baz

charging a 2.8 is a rediuclous unless u can afford to run it
the aim of doing the conversion it not down to the cost of running 2.8 n/a
its to go back to turbo with 4wd and potentially 300bhp  :cool: and 4 doors

You run a MK1 TT 4wd box.  That gives you the 4wd take off and fits a 1.8T block....then you just match that up to your engine code of choice?

If you want to go ahead with the conversion. The best thing to do would to buy a cheap S3 brake the car keeping the bits you want and selling the rest. You could also make couple of grand braking it.
