Plenty of other 20VT motors you could fit that don't have the moron tax.

Buy a 90 spec Golf 2 and it won't be too tough if you can do the wiring.

One up on a 16v is a 16vt.

If it's for track then budget on an LSD to get the power down. And a cage.  And harnesses.  And buckets, or you'll look massive gays.

Motor just bolts up.  Look at Dave_iow's build thread for some pointers.

Any 1.8t with a remap will see good power, so does not need to be a BAM.
