Re: 1.8t in4000?



I've said it before and got shot down, but now everyone else is talking
about it.  The 5-cyl turbo is the popular choice over the 1.8T to transplant
into a 4kq only because of the cost and simplicity of the conversion.  I'd
take the 1.8T any day, not only because it will make the same power, but do
so weighing 50 to 100 lbs less, and that lost weight is all *right behind
the front bumper*.  Huw has caugt onto this.  It will handle much better
than it did before the transplant.  Fun car, if you plan to keep it for a
long time.  You'll never get your money back out of it, course.  But, cars
are like that.
