Hmm, not too sure about this, I wouldn't be surprised if a 1.8t weighed the same as a 10v 5 cyl, those multivalve 5v heads are heavy, the fact that there is less weight as far forward (the 4 cylinder stitting back a few more inches than the 5) *may* be a benefit, but whether it will actually make a real world driving difference is yet to be determined, I doubt it would justify the swap, the tuneability of the motor is a much bigger benefit.
