To tell you the truth, if this is the route you want to take, the easiest
thing for you to do it buy a parts car. A complete 16v Scirocco to be
more specific. If you're not up for this, then build a 2L 8v motor. Less
headaches, unless you're _dying_ for the slight elevation in coolness
factor by having a 16v engine in a chassis it never came in. :) Couple
that with a 16v Scirocco donor car 'priced-to-sell' and you could
have yourself a project. Happened to me and Jim Jarrett when we were
thinking of options for his ragtop.

All different. Get an entire car. If you need something that way, you
just go get it.

Look on scirocco.org, there's plenty of pictures of 16v's with their hoods
up...I would guess....well go to the section on my car anyway and have a
bit of look-see. Let me know if you have any specific questions.
