1.8T in a Mk1 Scirocco, info?...(Audi a girls car...What!?!?)
I am currently in the process of putting a 1.8T in my '79. I will be
documenting the whole thing on my website and I already have pics up of
the engine and tranny. I got an AWP engine and 02J tranny with 8k and
everything that goes along with it out of a 2003 Jetta for $3,200. So
far the cost is at $3,500 after a few misc. parts in addition to the
engine and tranny.
