complete ABA swap into Mk2....16V?

[verboten1 at gmail.com (Verboten1)]

I will say that my:
1983 1.9 Turbo 8V Jetta was amazing with an FF trans.
1982 2.0 16V Rabbit C (stripped down model) was AMAZINg with an FK trans.

the 1,8 16V rocco has yet to impress me. yes it is fun, but by no means
quick.

now i have to contemplate this.
the Rocco will be my fun times and track day car which will be driven to
shows and track days.

ugh decisions decisions
