Help
This is a copy and post from another thread that hasn't had any activity in at least 6/7 years. Ignore the beginning sentence in parenthesis, or not. It's up to you. (I like this thread. It's very thorough. I'm needing some answers though.) I have a 1988 VW Cabriolet. I'm wanting to know what's the best most powerful/compatible motor I can put in it and how, if even possible, can i convert it to all wheel drive. I'm wanting to lift it and put some mud grips on it and basically have a little dune/rally car. I know I'd have to buy an engine swap kit, etc. but I'd also like to install a turbo, intercooler, cold air intake, upgrade the exhaust system and get a bigger throttle body along the way. I guess what's the highest MK that I can put in my Cabriolet along with engine specs and governor removal. And if I could just get Specs from there on downwards that would be great. I'm also thinking about gutting out the back seats and just making it a rear mounted motor with a locked rear axle so my tires aren't turning each and every way and finding a steering device from a rwd VW to put in my Cabriolet. If that sentence makes any sense. I know what I want to do, I just need to find an easier way to get compatible part information, input, and build help. Thanks
