Re: FS: Factory New 1.8T 20v Motors (Swap 4k)
Okay, wait a second. Aren't the 1.8t motors the same block as
the tried and true VW 4 banger? Or Audi 4 banger?
So, then one would just need 4ks non-quattro (4 banger) motor
mounts to bolt the turbo motor up to their 4kcsq's?!?!
Methinks the idea has promise, more than I thought initially.
Please come forward with opinions and comments!
