The only point I would like to make is that the 1.8t motors are more
plentiful. A quick search on car-part.com shows pages and pages of 1.8t
motors for the $1500-$2500 range. Two on ebay for $1200 or so + $400 or
so for an ECU + harness. $161.59 for shipping the motor, wiring,
intercooler, ecu. Granted, none met reserve, so YMMV. I talked to one
guy though, and he seemed pretty flexible.

Check car-part.com for 3B motors. Three. Sold as the long block only.
$3995 and $4500.

More complete 1.8t's coming out every day. Not necessarily so with the
3B.

Of course, we're all off track, like David said :). Not like I have the
resources to do anything with this information....
