1.8t into 80 avant?

[spink]

so tell me why its the best route to use s2 parts, cut and shut on a 16v?

I presume you are referring to me?,where in my post did i say its best to use s2 parts? the answer?i didn't,what i did say was that i have never heard any complaints and have seen the results for myself and they were impressive

Wouldent bother nothing but trouble, one of vag's week engines imo!

Yeah VAGs most efficient and most commonly used engine across VW, Audi, Seat and Skoda is weak

Without doubt one of the best workhorse engines that will return 40mpg and still give you power

Must admit the 1.8t engine in a lighter car would be good but my experiences of them ain't the best.

In the 1.8t A6 they are slow and suffer from boost leaks badly.

My 1.8 n/a a4 was truly awful, it had good history etc but managed to kill half the ecu and run on just over 2 cylinders then it just would not run properly once all this was sorted. Economy was sub 20miles on a long journey. I won't ever buy another 1.8 20v n/a car again if I can help it.

If you do start up this project then keep us updated with pictures etc, either way 16vt or 20vt (ever thought about a supercharged 16v you'd be a f'in hero )

Just to add fuel to the fire,

Has anyone thought about or done a 5 cylinder turbo diesel into an B4 chassis, for everything S2 but with the economy of a diesel ?

Just wondering, sticking with petrol though myself.

Kind regards.

so if you want to to bolt on 1.8t to a b4 chassis (without welding) best choice would be a v6 car.

Does it looks like B4 (avant) to you or not?
