1.8t engine setup pictures
I guess I just don't understand why you would want to spend $6K on a 1.8T
(you'll end up spending a lot more than that I bet!!!) when you could have a
nice high compression 2.0L 16v that will crank out similar HP for about half
the money and half the headache. I know I'm fishing for hate mail but I
just don't get it. The 1.8T is a nice motor and all and with a chip can be
pretty very nice but man, if you want to spend gobs of money, get some
pistons and turbo a 2.0L 16v! If your budget is $6k, it would be VERY
doable with about $2k or more left!
Just my opinion!!
