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!
