1.8t imo. Relatively cheap huge aftermarket support and pretty simple to work on make it my #1 pick.

No vr6. Wong bolt up to trans and not s fan, waiting sing that bad on 1.8t Depending on year if I can use with my trans. I have several 16 valves. Is why I was leaning that way but the last one I had was a temperamental one. I haven't decided. The torque from 16 valve was sweet.

I'm with sling. Swap the trans! Eurowise makes a kit for that as well. And how can you not be a fan of that GROWL! There's probably more potential power for less money though out of a 1.8T. Either way, the conversion should be dope.
