Ewww.... I loath those motors. They are problematic, at least with the
terrible timing belt and tensioner set-up, not to mention only average
performance. If I were to go to the trouble of swapping a turbo motor into a
4kq, it would be the 10vt. Bullet proof, reliable and cheaper to maintain
than the 1.8t. I'd actually swap in a 20v NA motor before I'd go the 1.8t
route.
