vag = volkswagen audi group.
1.8T and VR6 are the obvious choices as they've been done many times and there will be no shortage of advice available.

why not go 2.0 bottom end with a big valve head and cams and twin webbers or throttle bodies, see what your 8v can really do!  :laugh:

Yep, but the guys that work at Silverlakes like to use their power saws to remove things, even when not even remotely necessary! They are just general thingys from my dealings with them, although more so the guys at the desk/in the office than the guys in the yard.

you can pick up complete vr6 mk3 golfs for that price if you look hard

Buy the complete car imo. There is a Passat VR6 in the for sale section. Ideal for the conversion. Same kind of price too :smiley:

I dunno that's a crazy wide angle for a v6, you'd have no hope fitting it transversely.

Yes that is a challenge - someone should definitely try it :laugh:

I would have thought putting a VR6 in a MK2 Golf would make it too nose heavy and handle like crap?
