RE: 1.8T conversion

<< Yes the 1.8T is the same size and the 1.6/1.8/2.0L I4 engines that VW and
 Audi use.  The 80/90 2.0L engine will fit perfectly in any VW, the new MK 4
 Golf also used the 1.8T so I think it is just plug and play with a LOT of
 time on your hands.  I would imagine that the 1.8T is getting close to the
 "Drive by wire" TDIs are, meaning that you need ALL the wiring harness and
 computers to make it work.  So if you find a Passat 1.8T or an Audi A4 1.8T
 at the wreckers cut it half and take the front end home and have fun!

Be careful, I've heard rumors that the 1.8T is a totally different motor than
the commond VW.  A quick looks at the parts breakdown will verify that...
