1.8T 20v is pretty common i think

I was stuck between the 1.8t, vr6 and the 2.0l 16v but I think ill probably go for a 1.8t. Correct me if I’m wrong but I think the 1.8t is out of a mk4 gti. Btw do you know how much power you can make from a 1.8t. Thanks anyway

1.8t is pretty ideal since it’s not as heavy on the front as the VR6.
Depending on which parts of which engine you combine you can get 300+hp out of a 1.8t, although at some Point you’ll have to think about stopping or doing a swap from FWD to synchro/4Motion.

Anything newer VW. MK3 or newer is probably best, they’re fairly cheap with a good amount of engine choices.

I know a guy who put a 2.0 TDI in his.
Gives him about 180 horses and plenty of torque BEFORE mods.
