RE: 1.8T in Ur-q

[Roger DeCoster <roger_decoster@yahoo.com>]

If you'd humor me.....

I've seen and read of people installing updated turbo's and newer
turbo engines in the Ur-q, and was wondering if the natural
progression of this update is to install the 1.8T engine.

Clearances ought not to be a problem, and with any of the available
chip/exhaust upgrades, power should be equal to or exceed the chipped
and resprung 5-cyl. models.  Drivetrain/driveline issues, as well as
drive-by-wire and electronic compatibility of hardware from two
decidedly different eras seem like the largest obstacles.

Has anyone heard, done, or seen a conversion of this kind?  You can
bet Andrew Bennett and Anderson Bros. are at least thinking about it. 
Seems like it would be the logical upgrade in engines at this time.

Roger
