    yet another guy on the 1.8T bandwagon.

    I know it's damn near sac religious, but I like the MKI with the busa motor. I've scene built busa/zx14 motors put out mid-high 300's easily and they're def light.

    I have seen 16v carbed and with some other goodies touch the 200 hp mark.

    However the 1.8t is a more modern engine which can produce more power with less money invested.
    The more sensible swap is a 1.8t however I really want a 16v in my mk1.

    A vr is nice but doesn't belong in a mk1 in my opinion.
