1.8t swap

Postby DubKid89 on Fri Nov 14, 2008 3:47 pm

i was looking at purchasing a mk2 jetta gli with a 16v and i was thinking about what i could do to the car to make it a total sleeper. to me the best swap/mod sounds like a 1.8t swap. i was just wondering if anyone has ever heard of doin a swap like this in a mk2. im thinking clean mk2 gli wide wheel stance euro bumpers and trim pieces with a 1.8t swap and fmic with some revo tuning and that would be basically my dream. :D but if anyone knows if this is possible and worth doing let me know. thanks

the 20v 1.8t swap into a mk2 has been done many times, however the 16v motor has alot of potential itself and if i were you i'd build that up and boost it instead, but thats just me.
