The '87-90 1.8 liter 16V in the A2 GTi, Jetta GLi and 4 cyl Passat's use
CIS, so should be a reasonable swap, 123 BHP, 124 ft-lb of torque. The
2.0 16V A2 GTi or Jetta GLi should fit, and still have adequate cooling.
134 BHP, 131 lb-ft of torque. The turbo 1.8's probably require
prohibitive amounts of fuel plumbing, electrics and the cooling systems
that fit the Fox probably won't cool adequately, unless you want to try
the Mecca-Evans stuff, then you'd have to deal with THAT old thread!
