1.8T swap
The basic 1.8t is a piece of crap? Glad I found out now.:) Mine isn't chipped yet but its still faster than my 2l 16v with schricks, supersprint everything, 50mm manifold, etc... The beauty of the 1.8t is that a $500 chip can turn the motor from "crap" in to a fire breathing rocket.
Im still confident if I pulled up to a red light even without a chip against 90% of the roccos out there.
