1.8T swap

[mkii@nycap.rr.com (Josh20V)]

if you found a complete 1.8t engine with all its parts for $500, buy it
since they go for $2000 to over $3000. I mean, buy it and resell it, and
make a nice sum!!

I at least didn't need custom mounts either.

With a "simple" upgrade of a chip the car could be right about 200hp, with a
low budget K04 upgrade for about $1500 your around 230hp.

Of course tranny upgrades/axles/quaife/clutch/etc/etc all add up also. :D
