1.8t engine setup pictures

[optimus234 at hotmail.com (Kevin S)]

Yea thats what I was thinking, doing the upgrades right away. The thing is 
my car has been off the road for more then 3 months now, my 16v needs a 
complete rebuild, also I need to get it back on the road because its the 
only car I have, and my parents are getting mad. I was going to get my 
engine done up, but the local mechanic chickened out and told me to take my 
engine back. So now I have a choice spend $3000 canadian on my engine 
rebuild. Or I would rather save that money and spend twice that much on a 
1.8t swap. I am hoping to get the swap done by the end of the summer if I 
can get a engine soon. I don't mind spending extra money on upgrades here 
and there. As long as my parents are happy that I have a car again.

Since you mentioned guages, what kind you recommend, that would look nice 
and a good guages??

Thanks for all your help
